I voted for E-9 because that was/is what the WSOR had.

I like the paint sceam too.
Speaking of, do any of you WSOR fans know where they are located anymore? Did they sell them or something. If they still are owned by the WSOR are they in a place where a body could get any pictures of them.

Just wondering, Noah

E8 for me here.
The only reason I voted for the E units is that the CPR had 2 of them. [;)]

[:)]The E8 and E9 are virtually identical appearance wise, but didn't the E9 use a "single" 567 series diesel prime mover instead of two as the previous E units? [?]

It was a hard toss up between E7 and E8..... Time period and road made the difference. The E8 and E9 not much difference in the units but I will say the UP E9's are very handsome in real life. From the pictures of the Burlington E5's I have seen they look great. I like E's anyways.

[:D]The E7.[^][:)] hands down.[;)][;)]

Appearance wise, the square windows of the earliers Es and the Bull Dog nose of the later Es. Coolest features of both groups!

Best looking, and one of the most frequently seen diesel passenger units on TV shows and Hollywood movies of the 40s and 50s.

Just a few examples: I Love Lucy, the opening credits of "The Adventures of Superman", the movie North by Northwest and the original "In the Heat of the NIght movie.[;)]
