The C&S ran SD40's in Chinese Red.

Hi all,
It's hard for me to nail down a specific locomotive (diesel) as I like
several. However, the ones I truly like were/are made by EMD. I don't
really like anything GE, Baldwin, Alco, etc. ever made (with the
exception of
the Alco PA/B's) -- it's just a personal preference of mine. In spite
of
that, however, I have several GE's on my layout just because Santa Fe
owned
them.
Having said that, here are my favorite locomotives:
Passenger - E9 (CB&Q) and E8m (Santa Fe Warbonnet)
first-gen diesel 4-axle - GP-20 and GP-30 (either CB&Q or Santa Fe
pin-stripe)
First-gen diesel 6-axle - SD45/F45/FP45 (Santa Fe pin-strip and/or
Warbonnet)
Second-gen diese 4-axle - GP60M/B Warbonnets
Second-gen diesel 6-axle - SD40-2 (would loved to have seen one in
Chinese
Red)
Modern-day diesel - SD75M (Santa Fe) (I wonder how the Q might have
painted
up one of these?)
My Favorite Steam - Baldwin 4-8-4 Northern as built for AT&SF
What can I say? I love Santa Fe. However, the Burlington runs a very
close
second. How ironic that the two would one day be merged (much to my
shagrin).
Well, I'm sure that this will put some fuel on the fire. Enjoy!
