Phase I was the first standard paint scheme of Amtrak. On locomotives, phase I consisted of a red nose and then the Amtrak "pointless arrow" logo on the side of the engine. On passenger cars, however, this was not used. Instead, Phase I used the Amtrak logo on one end of the car, and then stripes along the side of the car, much like the later Phase II scheme. The "stripe" style paint schemes would be used on Amtrak for many more years.
