You know!!!!!
That is a very hard question Livesteamer for a juice jack to answer
Each and every road had there type of motive power, and we sparks just droool at them all!
BUT I have always favoured the London and Port Stanly R/R.
It was the first Canadian Elec that I studied and had good access to..
Here is a pic from there achives.
Shwing the two types of power the used.

Favorite Electric Locomotives
I'll add my vote for the GG1, too, closely followed by the GE E33, as first used on the Virginian and then spread out to other roads, including "my" New Haven.
I have to add that I do have some enthusiasm for light steeple cabs in general, too.
Even though I grew up along the New Haven Shore Line, with its 4 track electrified main, I have always tended to be a steam and diesel man; but my interest in juice jacks is growing.

Well to start off here are my favorites, AA-1, GG-1, E-33, E-44, E-44a, P-5, P-5a, P-5b, P-5am, DD-1, DD-2, B-1, L-6, L-6a, R-1, E-2b, E-3b, E-3c, FF-1, FF-2, O-1, O-1a, O-1c, R-1, and Odd-D . If you look at it this way I liked all the Pennsylvania Railroad Electrics. I favor the steam engines more.

I agree with Livesteamer about the PRR electrics, but I also like all side rodded electrics and the Milwaukee's Bi-Polars. Remember when Bi-Polar didn't mean something else?
IDs please
Livesteamer:
Could you oblige us with some descriptions of those PRR electrics, please?

Sure can,
The first picture is a FF-2, The second picture is a B-1, and The third one is a DD-1.
I'll cast another vote for the lovely SN GE steeplecabs!!
Heck, for the SN, those were fairly big...of course, 1020/420 was bigger, but that was a homebrew job!
