I'd pick my passenger equipped B&O GP 9 ( in gray, blue, and gold livery ) because of its utilitarian use. It virtually can execute every task on a railroad from yard switching, long distance road freight engine, and commuter & long distance passenger work. I hope I never have to make that choice.
Your choice is based on the same logic as mine, and I love it when you post photos or videos of your beautiful torpedo boat geep.
Coming from you Tom ...your words mean A LOT!! THANKS!!! AND thanks for your support of my posts and videos of my GP9. It's interesting ... when I first saw this topic, immediatley the GP 9 popped into my head. As I gave it more thought, while visualizing my locomotive fleet, steam, diesel, and electric, the GP 9 consistently took precedence. I, and I assume you, love our steamers, GG-1's, and all our diesels but the GP - 9/7 is our one answer to this question. General Purpose locomotive. A great idea!
