I'd modify this poll to read:

Realroad favorite?
What is your favorite real railroad?

Santa Fe--short for A. T. S. F;
A.T.S.F.--as the boys running the Santa Fe would likely refer to it;
Santer Fay--as Tammy Faye Baker would pronounce it, mascara 'bleeding' down her cheeks in joy;
Other--what the Federal Government would label it as they sought to eliminate 'waste'.

As for a real railroad, the ATSF doesn't exist, at least not by itself.
As much as I love the Sante Fe railroad, my heart belongs with the CPR.
It's still a real railroad.

What about American arlines, your forgetting them. I aint even going to vote as in my opinion the Santa Fe didn't come close to the Rock Island. on a scale of 1 to 10 I will rate this poll 10 for dumbness !! [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Aggro, Your right! The Santa Fe could never live up to the high standards of the ATSF! We need polls like this one to help us make decisions about the important questions in our lives! Thanks for all your input!

Wow, I can't believe this dumb poll made it to the "HOT" list! What does that say about us Model Rail Dudes?!?

To those of you whom feel this is a dumb poll, you helped make it one of the dumbest, and I appologize! However, without your help, it wouldn't have happened!

This is all in jest!
