The new logo has two tracks, not three. The two light lines are the tracks; the three dark lines represent the ground beneath it. Took me a while to learn this.

Chatter is technically correct, but I like the Lionel quip just the same.

Geno Dailey has a good Amtrak pain schemes guide at http://www.trainweb.org/amtrakpix/paintschemes/paintschemes.html

I found out what the red and blue arrows are.

The blue line is Amtrak going along smoothly, then getting stopped by the UP freight train(the red arrow), as the red arrow ruins a nice on time performance by the Sunset Limited(Blue Line,into the split at the end)
