Eric,

Don't get me wrong, there are beautiful locomotives from all builders, but ALCO seemed to be able to turn out good looking engines more often than most. Smoother lines, good proportions, and a more modern appearance. Baldwin held onto the older styles longer, ending up with some bizarre combinations, such as semi-fluted domes on 90 ton locomotives. Plus, ALCO tended to have a more complex and interesting smokebox front.

Thanks, Taylor
