Railroads With College/University Colors On Their Locomotives(Past Or Present)

Folks, I am doing an ambitious project since I love college football and railroads. There are several railroad companies that had or have their locomotives painted in the colors representing a college or university(with or without school logos). Here are some examples:

*Boise Valley Railroad(Boise State University Broncos)- blue and orange.
*Iowa Interstate Railroad(University of Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State University Cyclones)- black, yellow, and red.
*Monon Railroad(Indiana University Hoosiers and Purdue University Boilermakers)- red and white; black and old gold.

ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS

I am asking the MHR community for some help in solving a problem I created with my choice of layout scenery. My layout was originally conceptualized 25 yrs ago as a much smaller layout with no intention of adding a backdrop or anything like that. I started this current version with the old idea then expanded it because I had the room to do so. Although I do plan on adding a backdrop at some point, I didn't take this into consideration when I stuck with the basics of how I originally thought the scenery would look. 

ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART VII

When I last posted I had just completed adding rocks to the newest section of my layout. I flew to CA for vacation on 12/27 and am still here now in LA on business until Feb. Of course that means I don't get to work on the layout but before I left I took a few more photos to share after I had colored all the remaining white plaster with Woodland Scenics earth pigment. It really makes a huge difference. Even without grass or trees the layout starts to look more realistic.
