>>1446053From a personal, local railroad perspective. I think the Southern Pacific had the best aesthetic. But I actually think its harder to find steam era railroads that DIDNT look good. The vast majority of European/Western railroads (Nationalized or not) all look very good and have things we can all appreciate. Except Indian, Indian locomotives look like ass. If I had to do a list of Five in terms of aesthetic Id do this
>#1 Southern Pacific>#2 Pennsylvania RR>#3 New South Wales Govt. Railway>#4 Canadian Pacific>#5 LNER/GWRHonestly I cant pick one over the other for #5 I love the LNER & The GWR equally
