I like all of the lines I've lived close to...... (and a lot I haven't lived close to)
As a kid in Michigan it was the Pere Marquette (later C&O)
I've also lived within a mile or two of the following:
South Kohala Sugar (small steam line, their engine now sits in the bottom of Mahukona Harbor, Island of Hawaii)
Northwestern Pacific (Petaluma, CA)
Escanaba & Lake Superior, CNW/UP (Marinette, WI)
UP/SP/BNSF (Klamath Falls, OR)
Providence & Worcester, New England Central (Ledyard, CT)
Norfolk Southern, CSX (Chesapeake, VA)

It's all a matter of buying the right house in the right town!

Have to be the Pennsy. We would visit my grandmother in Altoona and her house was 5 miles below the Horseshoe Curve. I would lay in bed and listen to the trains going around the mountain. My grandfather was a sign painter for the Pennsy. And he actual painted the K4 that went to the Worlds Fair. Have a pic of him in a suit standing in front of his work. Basically all of my grand parents worked for the PRR at one time or another.

I remember watching my Uncle's 2020 Turbine running around the Christmas Tree. Just thought the look of the Keystone on the boiler front was great. Also like the Nickel Plate and the NYC.

hello guys. if i had to pick a favorite rail road. i would have to pick two of them.

my first pick have to be norfolk southern. because it's the only tran that runs through my home town of baxley,ga.

my second pick will have to be csx, because it's one of the few other trains that i see in south carolina besides norfolksouthern.

these are my top two picks for my favorite rail road.

Speaking of living close to the tracks, a 1/4 mile away the LIRR runs past, love to hear the rumble and the 5am wake up call in the morning as it streaks past, only wish it was steam......[:)]

My favorite railroad NYC because my grandfather worked for them out of Ashtabula,Ohio. Haven't had much luck trying to get on the N&S or CSX though.
