I just had to vote for the Big Boy, though all big steam is great....

A few that come to mind that weren't on the list:

4-6-2 Pacifics
4-8-2 Mountains
2-8-4 Berkshires
0-6-0 and 0-8-0 switchers
4-12-2 UP 9000 series
2-6-6-2, 2-8-8-2, 2-6-6-4, 4-6-6-2 and 2-6-6-6 articulateds
4-8-4 Niagras

I didn't vote, because I like too many to choose just one.

Tie between the Missabe M-4 2-8-8-4 and the SP AC 4-8-8-2s.
3rd place goes to the UP Big Boy.

i have to agree. its hard to pick one

the 4-8-8-4 Bigboy.... they are mighty impressive in person... I have been in one and just the gigantic size of the firebox is enough to knock you off your feet. They are just so amazing because of the size and the power they once had.

Once you see one in person you will know what I am talking about.

Heh. Any steam that runs is a favorite. The old Strasburg 4-4-0 that is now in the PA Museum nearby used to run on the railroad until it was retired due to firebox issues was a favorite.

There is no way you can pick just one. There are many steam engines all worthy of consideration.

4-6-4 hudson with preference to the Victorian Railways R class followed by their streamlined S Class 3cylinder pacifics with garrets in third place.[:)][:)]
