While arguably not as stylish, I have always been attracted to the 'ruggedly handsome good looks' of the various ALCo cab units, especially the DL500B 'World' model.
There were several DL500b representatives at Streamliners 2016, including 4490 from the NSW Rail Transport Museum and QUBE owned (though inactive) 4477 which carries the colours of former owner CFCL Australia.

Another side on shot of the two streamlined A4's No 4464 'Bittern' & No 4489 'Dominion of Canada' at the recent Barrowhill photocharter event.
6th February 2014.
One of the most amazing sights to grace South Australian Rails for quite a few years was the appearance of Southern Shorthaul Railroad's vintage bulldogs S317/GM27/GM10/S302, seen near Nectar Brook, on a wagon transfer from Port Augusta to New South Wales.
All four locos were in attendance at Streamliners 2016 in Goulburn, NSW just four weeks previous.
S317 and S302 are former Victorian Railway S class units while GM10 and GM27 were originally built for the Commonwealth railways. All are Clyde/EMD six-motor products with 567C donks, except GM10 which is only a four-motor unit with a 567BC.

The streamlined N&W #611 shoves north out of its station stop at Barber Junction on one of its runs around the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer.
A beautiful design, Chesapeake and Ohio's #490 appears to be in motion even when it's standing still.
No. 490 is the sole survivor of the L-1 class 4-6-4 "Hudson" type steam locomotives. It was built by Alco's Richmond works in 1926 as an F-19 class 4-6-2 "Pacific" type to be used to pull the Chesapeake and Ohio's secondary passenger trains. It was eventually rebuilt in 1947 to become a streamlined 4-6-4 for the C&O's Chessie streamliner. After the Chessie was cancelled, No. 490 remained in secondary passenger service, until it was retired in 1953. It spent several years in storage in Huntington, West Virginia, until 1968, when it was donated to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. It remains on static display at the museum, as of 2022.
Another view of a black winged stilt who was intent on dive-bombing me .... its kiddies were nearby! I like the wing detail on this image.

Union Pacific EMD E9 number 949 parades down the line during the Streamliners Event held at the NCTM in Spencer, NC.
The "Diesel Days" event created a rare opportunity to see B&O Museum's small - but impressive - fleet of cab units lined up together.
On the left, we have MARC APCU 7100, a Morrison-Knudsen cab-car rebuild of an old B&O F7(A). Nestled towards the back is Western Maryland F7(A) 236. On the right is the unmistakable B&O 51, an EMD E(A). I still can't get over how good this unit looks after its recent restoration.
One of my hopes going into "Diesel Days" was that I might get a chance to get a photo showing these three together, so I was glad that it actually ended up working out!
More highlights from this event can be seen here.
By 1994, the era of the streamliner was practically over. One preserve of the streamliner era was the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train in Renton, Washington. It had a nice mix of streamlined cars. The three domes on the train represented some of the best operations in the west - the Super Chief, the Olympian Hiawatha, and the City of Los Angeles.
