<span class="smiley">[2c]</span> I guess that my most favorite locomotive would have to be the UP X3985 Challenger! I 've seen it up close & personal when I worked on the UP in Ft.Worth, Tx. at Tower 55. The second favorites would be the old "WarBonnet" CF7's on the AT&SF when I first started my railroad career. I was a machinist helper before I got an apprenticeship as a Carman inb 1973. I worked 2nd trick at the old diesel ramp in Cleburne, Tx, my job every evening was to work the 300 class red/silver warbonnet paint scheme units that were used for Amtrak service. These units & all of the old 200 class blue/yellow colored units were used for the CF7 program that we did in Cleburne Shops in the 1970's! That kept a lot of us from layoffs that decade! I love the sound of those old steamers & their soulful sounding whistles!
