Best Looking/Prettiest Trains (LARGE IMAGES)

[Bluewater]

There is a thread for the most ugly trains, so I thought I'd start the opposite.

Anything BNSF H3, or Soo Line, or Amtrak, or pretty much anything on the rails...

 

[nikos1]

All of those are pretty ugly...

Hi Paul,


The title of the thread didn't indicate geographical location.
Then... why not?

Ooo, yes! I love Siemens locomotives - I think they are the most beautiful!
Something not Siemens from the square 70ies - ER25. I somehow like how it looks.

LNER Gresley A4. Mmmmmmmm. Went to all six survivors at York a few weeks back, what a sight!

LNER Gresley A3.

LNER Gresley P2. You might be noticing a pattern here...

LNER Gresley P1.

LNER Gresley V2.

LNER EE.1. The prettiest electric locomotive, ever!

PRR K4.

BR's Kestrel. The prettiest diesel locomotive.

Needs no introduction.

You can't get more Art Deco-y than a NYC J3a Hudson.

Adelante...

...and an X40 of the same species.

A RegioPanter with not so pretty sides...

The Midland Railway's 'Spinner' locomotives are quite beautiful:

And I quite like Lion, the 1838 locomotive who starred in the '53 movie "The Titfield Thunderbolt":
