The 10 UGLIEST Locomotives EVER MADE
The ugliest trains ever built were almost never ugly by accident. From General Motors' space-age Aerotrain to General Electric's hammerheaded BQ23-7, these 10 locomotives looked the way they did because of a war, a tight budget, or a bold engineering gamble that flopped. This is the countdown of the ugliest locomotives in railroad history, and the real stories behind why each one turned out so hideous. We cover the GM Aerotrain, the German Krauss-Maffei ML-4000 diesel-hydraulic, Oliver Bulleid's experimental Leader, the Baldwin Centipede, the Amtrak Genesis, the C&O M-1 steam turbine, the wartime Bulleid Q1, the Chicago & North Western Crandall Cab, the British Rail Pacer, and the GE BQ23-7. Steam, diesel, turbine, and one machine that was honestly just a bus on train wheels. Which ugly train did we forget? Drop your pick in the comments and tell us which one you think deserves the number one spot.
