<p> My vote is on the N&W's Y6a locomotives, how many are left? The only one I can think of is the #2156, in St. Louis. Powerful, versatile, and very handsome. Look up a picture. Of course this is only my opinion. I have other steamers I'd like to see running, ones higher up on my list.</p> <p></p> <p> Thing is, in these type of discussions, we all have favorites. Another thing is that the "best" would have to be used in a certain area. Big Boys are over-rated in my opinion. Do I still like them? Yes. Sure they were big, but no where near the most powerful. The image of Big Boy seems to be immortalized. And not to mention 4014 is coming back.</p> <p> In terms of what would be the "best" articulated to pull excursions, It would have to be popular, to fill seats, and strong, to pull a lot of seats. In terms, to have a steamer be out for long, it has to be funded, the best way is to sell seats, you can't sell seats unless people like the steamer pulling it.</p>
