SD40-2 with an air conditioner.
Lord Atmo I have several actually. 2. A CNW SD60 with SD50 electronics (Faulty microprocessors led to the tragic downfall of the SD60s) thus it would run as nicely as an SD40-2

Other way around, SD50/GP50's are junk. SD50 electronics are a nightmare. I prefer SD60s with mod 1's any day
1. A DD35A in CNW's phase 3 zito yellow (ZYc) scheme. Or a DDA40X with a spartan cab and all of the aforementioned paint.
3. A custom SD45X in CNW ZYc paint built to CNW specifications (Sans the nose gong which doesnt look good on the longer units)

Corect me if I'm wrong but it's called a AC4400CW isn't it? We know what youre talking about. The ES44AC is sutch a close name to the AC4400CW isn't it?

I would like to run a Soo Line GP30.

I don't know if I have already responded to this but I would also like to run the SD40-2. Seeings how their on there on thier way out.
I run Gp30's everyday and the only 2 GP26's

For this little one any 2-8-8-4 for steam, any ALCO for diesel, and a GG1 for the Elecs. For sheer speed I'd go for that TGV that did 574kmh recently.

I just started my blog site...more stuff to come...

If a miricle happened, a Big Boy, but realistically, an amtrak F40
The only 2 GP26's ever built. That is what I would run rather than anything. But the 5 GP 30's we have are good.

Two SW1's or SW1200's mu'd together nose to nose
I think it would be udderly amazing to operaate a UP 4000 class BIG BOY. Especially up Sherman Hill!!!
If i had to run it forever and make money with it. SD40-2. Early model, Pre-'75. If it was for the enjoyment of operation... DMIR Yellowstone
I personally wouldn't mind running UP 3985, or even 844 for that matter. As far as diesel engines, I wouldn't mind climbing into the control seat of a GEVO, or a SD70/80, or even anything in the entire GP series.

The Missabe Road: Safety First
UP's C44AC-CTE, C45AC-CTE (UP name for the ES44AC-CTE) and the SD70ACe-CTE.
You can use these unit on all trains that require six axle locomotives. They can operate in remote mode (DP) in either FTE (full tractive effort) on bulk trains or CTE (controlled tractive effort) on all other type of trains. This is helpful in starting a train on a hill, controling slack action, climb hills, etc..
I'd like to operate any and all of the above...
Heck, I'd love to operate a speeder! ;)
Diesel: AC44-9W, any Alco, SD60 or 70, GP60, E9, F7, MP40, DD40x
Steam: 0-6-0, 0-8-0, 2-8-0, 4-4-0, 2-6-6-2, any type of shay, 4-8-4, 2-8-4,
Yeah, a Big Boy might have been fun.
For me it would any of the following a Pennsy GG1 A CNW H class A U P 484 any of them. A UP 9000 or a Big Boy, last but not least a CB&Q O5b 484 just dreaming Larry
Any of Uncle John's Texas-types, either Madame Queen or one of the 5001 or 5011 Classes!

Also, if its restoration was complete, I would bring out the Flying Scotsman. Blowing her whistle would really be something.
FTGT725 Diesel: Any E or F unit, DD-40, GP-9 High Hood Steam: UP's Big Boy and Challenger
Diesel: Any E or F unit, DD-40, GP-9 High Hood
Steam: UP's Big Boy and Challenger
It's going to take a powerful imagination to imagine you are running a DD-40; I'm sure that the OP here was referring to prototype diesels and not fictitious ones from Athearn and Co.
I'm new here but I work for BNSF in Chicago. I've piloted a few Gs and both new EMD and GE Evolution series.

Too many choices...
