SD 45, preferably in Great Northern Blue.

Great Trains article about them a couple months ago.

1st are the EMD 40 series, and then it gets hazy.
There are some F-M units near the top, close to geeps.
At the bottom, however, are all GE units, except for U30Cs in BN Cascade green.

SD60/GP38 (SOO LINE)
- I like these becasue its the locomotive that i was on the most during the 90's when my grandpa used to take me for train rides.

Dash 9-40CW (NS)
- Really, I only like these because of the cab that NS has in the loco. I just love the way it set up inside.

Dash 9-44CW (CN)
- I like the way these look from the outside cause of there different windows they have. It makes it stand out more from the general GE Wide Cab. I like that.

SD45 (CEFX Blue Paint)
- I love the CEFX Blue Paint as it is but on this loco with the flared radiators, its just awsome to me...

SD40-2/GP40 (CPRS)
- And again these because I got to ride in them a lot with my grandpa...

I could keep going, but i dont feel like it.
