What is YOUR favorite locomotive manufacturer?

  • Who will you choose?[:D]

    Disregard the last poll, I screwed up on the subject.[^]

    I have added Fairbanks Morse as a choice for all of you Trainmaster fans[8D]

  • You have opened "a can of worms" with this poll. There will be fighting in the streets. LOL. Many railfans and railroaders are "Die-Hard" one way or the other on which is the best loco manufacturer. This is really just an opinion type question and everyone has their opinions. It is also unfair to compare today's third generation locos to those made say in the 1950s. I hope you an not dissappointed by the results of your poll or by the "long wait" between votes or replies to your poll Good Luck.

    Have a Great Day.

    Railpac, email me, I have a comment just for you.

    P.S. I started a poll on "Your Favorite Railroad Decade" if you have not taken the poll please stop by on do, and please leave comments.

    Stay Safe and Look, Listen, and LIVE

  • You honestly gotta love when GE units blow fire out of their exaust stacks. But other then that in my opinion the look cooler then other non GE units.

  • ALCOs are my favorite locomotive. I am particularly fond of the Century line. I love the trucks, rounded cabs, notches on the many of the hood ends, puggy shaped sharp angle of the nose, the plain long hood without too many louvers, grills and odd shaped bulges. The deep, throaty exhaust sounds and dark, rich black, smoke these beasts made can't be compared to anything other than a steam locomotive.

  • Isn't it funny that Alco, gone 40 some years plus, has 4 votes and GE only 2. EMD has 4 votes but is also ahead of GE. [:)] [8D] [^]

    Speaks for itself, doesn't it? [:D] [:D]
