  Probably because I live in Europe, but for me the Nort American trains are ugly as hell.

    The earlier E- and F-units were much more conventionally attractive, especially in trains with a single "A" cab unit combined with cabless "B" units to form a sleek contiguous train: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_E-unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_E-unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_F-unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_F-unit I agree that it does seem like the newer boxy aesthetic is trying to make a statement that train travel is for industrial goods only, not for people.
