As far as recent power:

GP59 & GP60 - last of the GP series [^]
GP38-3 - NS rebuild of “old” GP40’s & GP50’s [:O]
SD70ace - The meanest looking peice of equipment out there only second to a snow plow(or ugliest whichever you like)[8D]

southern E-8’s in the green & white

No Oldtimer, it’s just the replies ahead of yours all chose diesels. He asked “locomotives” without anything about “diesel” in the original question.

For me:

Diesel Baldwin RF-16 (one of the models commonly called the Shark Nose)
Steam GM&N #425, a Baldwin built Pacific first tourist railroad operation on the Valley Forge Scenic Railroad, my intro to steam up-close-and-personal

13

Mullholland’s 4-4-0 Hiawatha
Erie’s Peter B. Sweeny

14

LV Alco C628

Adrianspeeder

  3. Dash 9-44CW

  5. DDA40X
  6. GP38-2
  7. F40PH

to see…I’d hafta say the older C39-8 camelbacks…for work I definately prefer the blue CEFX AC4400CW lease units ('cos they all have A/C and they’re quiet inside)…I know…kinduv an odd response for a former GM employee(franchise) and EMD fan…
