Actually, that's an old E-unit. From what I could find, she's LTEX 9925, an old EMD E9A originally owned by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (later the Burlington Northern).

The first two are actually OK first cars; reasonably sized, slow, not very good looking, and if you stick with the low-end models, pretty weak in terms of power.
Anything with more than 120 hp per (metric) ton and/or weighs more than 3,000 lbs (~1,400 kg). Additionally, no electronic nannies or AWD nonsense. How can you appreciate that stuff if you don't know what it's like to drive without them?
...is it weird that THIS was the very first thing that came to mind when I saw the front?
You're close.
Well, the bodywork is alright, but everything else is wrong. It's FWD and all of the engines produce more than 175HP, which if I recall correctly is the generally accepted limit for front-wheel-drive.
Umm...what is BMW doing?
