Originally posted by Rotorranch I like the Aerotrain! Looks like a '58 Chevy! ( Go figure! ) [:D] No wonder, since I'm pretty sure it was made by GM in the 50's. I like it also, and got to see one of the two made, near Green Bay, WI about 6 years ago.

Today, you can still see the occasional GP-9 (with original high short hood) and CF-7s (another beastly design!) but they are being phased out in favor of more "modern" GP-38s purchased from the Norfolk Southern.

Of course, once could say that about the Garratt.. And I agree with you, Jesse. That thing gives me the heeby-jeebies.

I would like to nominate the flameless steamers. Those things tended to look like thorny cucumbers and not having a smoke stack is just unatural.
