Rio Grande first and then...

I choose the Rio Grande as Number 1,Then the Union Pacific/Southern Pacific which looks alot like the old SP Daylight units.And coming up 3rd for me would be that Katy locomotive,What is that Candy Apple red???? Thats a beautiful locomotive.4th would be the Wester Pacific one,And it's a draw between the other two.
All of the photo's are Great shots.I wouldn't mind having any one of these in my Ho collection.Thanks for sharing these photo's.

The MP gets my vote for best.

They tried to do too much with the SP unit, though.
