CN's GMD1's are my #1 fav loco, especially the A1A-A1A ones the 1000's and 1600's, the B-B 1400's are ok too. Second would be the GP9, one of the best built diesel loco's ever, so much so that Central Manitoba Railway's main power are 4 GP9rm's, still with the 567c engines. Third would be the M420W's and HR412's, gotta love them smoky ALCO's. And for new power i like the ES44AC's on the CPR and the SD70M-2's on the CN, those engines are massive.

That's easy. Raymond Loewy's magnificent GG-1 electric. It's so beautiful. And, it's so OVER-engineered, like the Eads Bridge in St. Louis, that it outperformed and outlasted original expectations. Makes some of the so-called HST's look like planned obsolescence by comparison.
Maybe if the coolant system hadn't been so chock-full of PCB's, Amtrak and NJT could have kept the GG-1's running a few years longer.

 And at the opposite end of grace, the Paducah GP10 For that matter, the GP8 or even the GP11. It don't matter. Get five of 'em pulling west out of Dubuque and it sounds like an orchestra playing. Long Live Paducah!
