Originally posted by Bergie What’s your favorite modern locomotive? Vote then share your comments below. I voted for the GE C44-9CW - I like the trucks and angular design of the nose. But to be honest today's loco designs don't have the style of first generation diesels, e.g. Alco PA & FA, EMD F-series.

Posted by Anonymous on Mon, Jul 28 2003 5:10 PM My favorite current locomotive is the SD70 with the spartan (regular) cab. However, overall, my absolute favorite is any former Southern unit with the high short hood. Those definitely beat the C40-9W's in looks.

Posted by brilondon on Mon, Jul 28 2003 5:13 PM My favourite locomotive is and will always be the belching VIA FPA 4's that were prominent in the southwestern Ontario until the LRC started taking over. I will never forget the first time I ever saw this beauty. It was in London on the train that ran with conventional equiptment up through Kitchener to Toronto.

Posted by Anonymous on Mon, Jul 28 2003 6:03 PM Without a doubt it is the SD90Mac. The locomotive is the T-Rex of locomotives: big, bad and beautiful. All others are like velociraptors. Now all that needs to happen is for EMD to solve the reliability issues with the loco. You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
