What is YOUR favorite locomotive manufacturer?

  • 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]
  • EMD: FIRST......GE SECOND

  • I like EMD the roar of the engine is phenomenal. Especailly when they are taking off from a dead stand still.

  • EMD is leading the poll just as they do many trains. ALCO is a strong second.
    Let's see some more votes and hear some more comments. Interesting isn't it? [:)]

    I am really surprised by the number of young folks (age 25 or below) who are ALCO fans. [:)] Some of them are really die-hard ALCO fans.[:D] Well nothing wrong with that.[;)]

    By the way I understand there is a new book out about ALCO and their locos. I read a post elsewhere that the book was worth its weight in Gold. [:)]hummmmmmmmmmm [8D] Gotta check it out ! ! ! [8D]
