   Interesting pictures.  A long-time railfan friend of mine used to comment   
   that the British claimed American steam engines were rolling slums.  But   
   with the streamliners (early diesels), that reputation faded.  Now I wonder   
   why so many diesel engines produced today are downright ugly.  Nothing   
   pretty out there.  Have we returned to the rolling slum concept?
