Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, obvious here. I think some the earliest E's, in their circa 1940 livery, such as the Rock Island's, were rolling art work. For me, nothing tops steam, but some shrouded steam, like the streamlined autos of their era, are just plain ugly. That does not include the C&O Mikado and Pacific, not shrouded, which top my list, with Elescos, flying pumps, and Vanderbilts. And this with my favorite roads far to the west.
