I already committed my self on the SD40-2 as my all time favorite 2nd gen. But the ALCO C636 would also be included on my favorite Loco list. Especially the Big D&H C-C Alco's on a heavy manifest freight southbound at Lanesboro. PA. This line is a bikepath now but at one time it featured the biggest train show in the Binghamton Scranton area. Starting at Starucca Viaduct to Ararat summit three D&H Century's had to face a steep steady grade and severe curvature with long consists taxing the continuous amp rating to the MAX. I was glad I was there at the start of the Apex of the D&H railfan era.
