Favourite Locomotive/ Railway/ Railroad

[Stormpilot]

Howdy y’all!

This thread is similar to @Ben J. Kermans what’s your favourite plane/ helicopter thread but just for rail fans.

Ill start:

I have always liked the sd70. It’s pretty large and makes a very nice growling noise. It’s always fun watching them pass through my town in CN and CP colours.

I also like the SD90 which is just a really long sd70.

I also like the AEM-7

And last but not least: the ET-41 operated by PKP (polish state railways).

And favourite railway/ railroad is the Canadian Pacific Railway.

I still am fond of the EMD SD45. A truly beautiful locomotive.

The GP-35 is also not a bad looking locomotive, either.

I enjoy railway history but have virtually no interest in modern rail.  However, I LOVE steam locos!

They may be grossly inefficient polluters that require lots of maintenance but oh boy! do those things have PRESENCE!

Great Northern Railway (US) and the EMD F7A. Both because I like the Empire Builder and GN, and also because there happens to be one not far from where I live-

I use these quite a lot.  Fast, quiet and comfortable.  Most seats have power sockets to charge mobiles and laptops.  And the staff are great.
