The California Zephyr
The Canadian on its original CPR route.
For me: The Indiana Railroad (the interurban, not the current Short Line) from Fprt Wayne to Louisville, on the high speeds. Also, Cincinnati to Detroit on the Cincinnati and Lake Erie interuruban, on the Red Devils.

From Boston through to Halifax

Some years ago, I took the Southwest Limited to visit a friend who lived in Raton. I remember looking out the window at the Amtrak F40s, and wishing they were Santa Fe Steam...
And of course, the Alton Limited.

I was fortunate enough to ride the Super Continental and also its twin the Panorama between Montreal and Vancouver on the former and on the latter between the two same points except for a lengthy layover in Winnipeg. Not sure the trains were thae same east and west of Winnipeg except for the name.
The train I wished I had had the opportunity to ride was the Vista Dome California Zephyr between Oakland and Chicago. Instead I opted for the RDc between Oakland and Salt Lake City and then rode the Zephyr to Chicago.
I would have loved to ride CNR's Super Continental from Montreal to Vancouver
