that's just for starters-more to follow
UP Big Blow (GTEL)
Sheer size and a cab unit to boot.

Some people think its ugly, I just think it looks pretty BA. EMD SD70ACe (in UP flag paint). I also like the SD90(43)MAC's and the old F9 as well as the F40PH.
I''ve always liked the GE 8-40C and 9-40C tophats
The EMD SD80MAC in Conrail paint.
Oh, that's easy. The Norfolk and Western Class "J" 4-8-4, specifically the great #611.
For me, it is the SD40-2. The reason is, simply, it is what I would see track side as a kid. Looks best (in my opinion) painted for the Chicago and North Western or Wisconsin & Southern.
CNW 6821 (as a kid)WSOR 4005 (as of today)
Neither of these photographs are mine.

I looked through the history and I didn't see this questioned asked so I thought that I would post it. I've never worked for the railroads and Ive obviously never been a railfan, but I did grow up near railroad tracks and Ive spend more than a few hours waiting for trains. Until the internet I was never able to tell locomotives apart except for the obvious paint.
I'm wondering what your favorite locomotive is and why. You can choose more then one (GP, SD, electric and steam or something from GE, EMD, Alco or otherwise. I certainly don't want to start a fight but I am interested in the reasons why people make the choice that they do, especially those who have worked for the various railroads.
