Favorite modern locomotive

[Anonymous]

I really hate any engine from the late GPs and SDs as well as all Ges after U-boats. If it can come with a safety cab I hate it. [:(!]Alcos, any model, I love them[:I]. BL2s rock. GP30s with their brutish looks are sweet. CF7s are awesome oddballs. Oh and Sharknoses are the best. [:D]Can anyone get pictures & info on the ALCO Black Marias? [?]Post a site if you find one.

The GP40-2, a high HP loco for hauling high value intermodal and merchandise freight at high speed!

My most favorite examples were Conrail's 3200's. Which were copies of the old New York Central GP40's right down to the 61:16 high speed gearing(77 MPH max). They put Conrail's Trailvan trains on the map and were a favorite of engineers in the old New York Central territory such as and the Boston and Albany and Mohawk and Hudson Div.

[:(]Sadly the 3200 was broken down to a frame,walkways, and cab and it was grafted a SDP45 hood. [^]But give me an SDP45 anyday![:)]

My current favorite is a little more involved than what is probably coming over these pages. I like a LOT of diesels but I love the looks of the SD-90 series. I think all the relatively new engines; AC series, SD 60,70,80 and 90 series all have great lines. Overall though, going back a little before the 'modern' engines, I'd have to say the SD-40-2s were my all time favorite. I like the 'porch' look combined with the trucks under one of these beasts making it look like it was working hard even standing still. Watching them heading up a freight at speed was a thing of beauty.
