what is your favorite diesel locomotive? what is your least favorite?

2

ALCO PA-1…

least favorite…ANYTHING GE

[:-^]

3

EMD FP7.

Least, Any Dash 9 or GEVO.

4

Any ALCO is good,EMD SD-40-2,SD-9,and the GP 40

Not fond of GE’s except I did love our 4200 series B23-7. Its too bad that GE cant build a product that lasts over half a century on a Major class one.(talking about the SD-9’s we still have at BNSF)

5

Mine is the SD40-2 and MP15AC abd my least favorite is the BL2. Steve Church Milwaukee Road Iowa Division

6

I am a big fan of the SW1200 and SW1500.

I love hearing those old switchers rev up and push a load.

I see a lot of IHB yard action out here.

My favorite is the SD80MAC. It’s awesome to watch those things rumble by. Too bad they rarely show up in MA anymore since the Conrail split-up.

I’m also fond of the SD26 and SD45 for sentimental reasons, though I know the crews don’t like them.

Least favorite? Dash 9s. Booooorring.

8

AMD 103 P-42 Genesis, Dashes, SD60s

Favorite is the RS-3

Least favorite is the GP/SD40-2

Me too! I love the Switchers especially SW1200 and SW1500. There’s only a few left.

My favorite locomotive is Union Pacifics 6900 centennial. What power and beauty. I wonder if they still run the 6936.

Yes, they still run the 6936, it is part of the Heritage Fleet. It is commonly used on Business trains.

17

Favorite Diesel Lococmotive

GP30’s

Least Favorite

well any locomotive with a wide cab

19

the Baldwin Sharknoses were the coolest, along with the ALCO PA’s. The FM Erie builts were neat as well

Least favorite would be the Dash-9’s & the SD90macs, those flared raidators are ugly!
