QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith THE ugliest were those early 0-10-0 camelbacks the PRR had back in the mid 19th century, the ones that had the open cabs across the whole top of the engine. they looked like a ten wheeled snapping turtle. The French were also extremely proficient at building some really ugly locomotives back then also, it was as if the just because the British were building such attractive, elegant engines the French intentionaly went COMPLETELY the opposite direction and decided to make some truely ugly utilitarian un-glamorous steamers, a tradition they continued clear into the early 20th century. The Indian Government also deserve a special award for some of the ugliest most garrishly hideous steam engines of the 20th century. dont believe me look for a book that shows some of these ug-monsters .....
