Some of my friends have been known to refer to N&W/NS high-hood units as bricks, as they have the profile of a dark, nondescript rectangle. Perhaps the only locomotive more fitting of the title is the PRR/PC/CR E44 electric. Here an example stands outside the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania engine house, with fresh touch-ups to the frame and cab.
The worst of railroad design. Please, send me your entries / suggestions for the "Album of the ugly trains of the world" (past or present, paint scheme or shape).
