EMD E8: Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy

Description
Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy E8 Locomotives

The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, commonly known as the "Burlington Route", was a pioneer in streamlined diesel locomotives, beginning with their Pioneer Zephyr in 1934. These E8 locomotives were a continuation of this trend, though a little less flashy than their earlier Zephyr cousins.

These locomotives feature standard elements of liveries from CBQ, from the heralding around the upper headlight, to the distinctive Art Deco font. Unique, however, compared to other locomotives are the metallic side panels, providing a brighter metallic shine than other railroads' E8s to match the streamlined stainless steel Budd cars of the era.

This pack includes six repaints of themeatballhero's fantastic E8 locomotives, 4 E8 locomotives numbered in the earlier scheme with A or B suffixed, 1 with a later normal numbering scheme, and 1 from the Fort Worth and Denver Railway, which was essentially a CBQ unit with "F W & D" in small lettering on the side.

Here are the skins and their eras:
  • Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy 9937B - 1950 (Includes Reversed)
  • Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy 9938A - 1950 (Includes Reversed)
  • Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy 9943B - 1950 (Includes Reversed)
  • Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy 9949A - 1950 (Includes Reversed)
  • Fort Worth and Denver 9981A - 1950

Also, thanks to the following:
  • themeatballhero, for their fantastic E8 locomotive, the resources to skin it, and helping troubleshoot along the way.
  • The Transport Fever North America Discord server, who particularly assisted on finding correct and accurate colors for this paint scheme.
  • The Transport Fever 2 Wiki, their instructions on setting up the Model Editor were essential.
  • You, the people viewing this and downloading this skin! I was blown away with the positive response from my CNW E8s, that it really encouraged me to do more.

Hey, I just want to say great mod!

I do have a question though, why isn't reversable on? I want to do a CB&Q Commuter train but I can't make them reverse. Still, great mod!
