Favorite GE locomotive?

mine would have to be the C30-7, C40-8, and C40-8W

What about the C30-7A, the flat topped C39-8 and camel backed C39-8, the BB40-9W in Brazil, and the never made U18BT?

here is evidence of a U18BT. http://pc.smellycat.com/list/1999-01/msg00081.html

There is already a favorite GE locomotive topic, so post your favorites there...And I don't think I don't think your favorite locomotive can be fictional, Terry.

I will not post my favorite here as you can find that info on the other topic.

ROFLMAO! You hit the nail right on the head Joe!

fictional stuff belongs here:

Fictional locomotives can be kinda fun to think about. Mine would be:

GE B18-9W (basically a U18B upgraded to Dash 9 technologies and a modern cab/carbody)

EMD GP15TM (basically a GP15T with modern electronics and a modern cab/carbody)

Would these locomotives be practical? No. Would anybody buy them? Probably not. But they're fun to imagine. And imagining can be good. Don't take yourselves so seriously, guys.

I am a fan of the U25B and C. I do like that shot of the MEC 407 . Is that one still around?

My favorite GE diesels were the U25B and the U33C. Saw both of these back in my early railfan days and they have left a lasting impression.

There aren't a lot of Uboats around these days, but the Trans Kentucky has a few over in Paris, KY that I get to see once and awhile. I just love that diesel stack talk when an old boat is accellerating.

I clicked on the links TerryC has put up and a BB40-9W shows up and evidence of a U18BT. I thought you people check the posts you have entered. If you had, you would click on the links and see TerryC was not lying and delete you insulting posts. I like a C40-8W in BNSF paint and in NS paint. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=83026

Terry edited his post and put in a link to something about U18Bs. I knew that BB40-9Ws existed.

Those BB's have strange looking trucks... kinda like the trucks on regular freight cars!

It is somewhere in Montreal, along with the 404. Guilford sold it to a company called Rail Trust Equipment or something like that (reporting mark: RTEX) and it went to Montreal, where it has been sitting for a couple of years. Not sure what's going to happen to it.

SP B39-8's and B40-8's

U28CG's

C36-7 with a humpback behind the cab (dynamics?). They sound great and smoke almost as much as an Alco. They command respect. Just my 0.02...[/url]http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=31943 and http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=40093
