    GE's Dash 8's. I don't know why but C&NW's standard cabs look great and so do those fat nose ex-Conrail ones with the high headlights.

    Absolutely. I have seen a few Ex- Northwestern Dash 8s her in the Chicago area. In fact. I think I saw the Wyoming Centenial one, only the logo seemed peeled off[:(]

    Has to be the Baldwin Shark Nose. Saw too many E's and F's, and even Alcos weren't a big change. That underswept nose was a pleasant change. [:)]

    I used to think that the coolest engines around were the ones like the Centennials, or the U50s. then I took a look around at what the shortlines were using in the arera I was living at the time. All Geeps. That sealed it for me. GP 7s and GP 9s.

    OhMan! some of you guys have NO class!

    Its like someone asks "what was the coolest car ever made" and instead of saying Ferrari, Bugatti or even a Corvette , you reply a 1972 Ford pickup truck! Uggh!

    COOLEST ever built, hands down my vote is for this!


    Burlington Pioneer Zephyr!

    Looks like its going 100 standing still.

       Have fun with your trains

    Everyone knows without doubt that the Alco PA1 was undoubtably the finest looking locomotive ever built.[:)]
