As a teenager in the70'/80's Rock Islands "Spine LIne" passed through my hometown in southern Iowa. I can the trains climbing out if whitebreast valley to the summit at Melcher. A gaggle of EMD and GE units would be lashed together. Ranging from GP-7/9 &18's and assorted U-boats. With every imaginable paint sceme from the Rock Island thrown in. But the SOUND was unbelievable! Combine 6-8 locomotives of early EMD and GE origins pulling for all there worth and.... Wow...what a sound they made. <br /> As for my all around favorite Loco, the RSD-15 Alligator's. For being the ugliest....the CF-7 handsdown. I'll come to a screeching halt anytime I see an old Industrial switcher of any make or model.
