What are some locomotive crew members love to ride in, and what are some locomotives that crews hate and almost refuse to ride in?[^]

I heard on this one video I have that crews like the road slug because they have no noise(engine tooken out) and they have heat for those cold days.

I heard and this is from a friend of mine who used to be a loco engineer but he's a yardmaster now for CSX. He told me that the SD80MAC is the most quite and most comfortable engine he's ever operated. He then told me that he didn't like operating the SD70ACe because, it wasn't all that comfortable as it's suposed to be.

I have heard that some operators like the SW series because of the way they handle some trackage, and are comfortable as well.
