Favorite Locomotive!

[Expresslane]

 

   Can't pick one. No order but what I like that comes to mind. The ALCO C628 in CNW green and yellow. They could pull anything hooked on to them. They rode like a three leged horse.

   F-7 , E-8 and SD40-2 are others I like. Don't know much about modern power.

CNW SD60s, SD50s, SD45s, and SD40-2s!

also UP big macs are kinda neat.

blah, i love any SD60 (ONLY SD60s. none of the cousins from the SD60 series like those hideous SD60Fs etc)

not too big a fan of GP60s though. too small for my tastes.

NS widecabs are the best and coolest looking widecabs ever. conrail crash 8s aside though. any widecab without noselights i guess

My favorite would have to be CSX's AC4400CWs.

Or the SD70Ace.

What's unique about CN #2225?

Nothing in particular. I just love CN's ES44's, which are unique among the GEVO's for their classlights, tear drop windshields, different fuel tanks and anticlimbers. #2225 is just my favourite, well, because I like the number (I know, that sounds childish, but still...:)

 

No, not childish at all.

[NS SD70M-2]

C40-9w ,SD70M-2 ,ES40DC ,C39-8 ,C40-9 ,SD70M ,SD80MAC & SD40-2

What, no GP60s? Come on, they're like your little Honda Civic, with a Chevy 350 in it!

4 axle go-power.  With its per-axle power rating, it'd be close to the power of an SD90MAC-H, or an AC6000CW, and it has that two-stroke EMD musical sound.

I know some here, well one or two of you, don't like them, but what else can I say? :)

oops I forgot. I will edit it.

CF-7 here the ULTIMATE kitbash. The Santa Fe took worn out F-3-7-9's and rebuilt them into basically gp-7s good for another 50 years with any kind of service. Some of the frames are now 70 years old now and still going strong.

[NH2040]

How can anyone resist the New Haven's FL-9s....some still in daily revenue service 50 years after they were delivered !

What's unique about CN #2225?

[THayman]

Hard call.

 1- CN ES44DC #2225

2- VIA Rail's rebuilt F40PH-2R (is it -2u, -3?) #6400

I could probably list some others...

Mine is one of just 13 build by EMD in the late 1940's, Mass Centrals NW5 which old can still be seen working. But know is in Palmer,Ma being rebuild and reparted.

And how could forget about Lehigh & New England's FA-1's
