How come no one chose C&O because of the Kitty Cat Calendars?

Which goes to show how pointless these polls are . It would have been easier to
just ask everyone to name their favorite railroad... Oh wait, that's been done several
hundred times already [;)]. Dave

Again, no Canadian Railways on the list!!
Which is amazing considering that both of the Canadian Class 1's travel deep into the USofA.
Oh well, I voted D&H as it's OWNED by Canadian Pacific Railway.

Brought to you by the letters C.P.R. as well as D&H!

I voted for Santa Fe which seems to be the most popular with the voters. I personally like their colors and model it in four different eras including steam, late 1940s streamliner, mid 1970s diesel and modern diesel.

Mine weren't up there either, NYC, PRR or NH, so I choose D&H since they serviced the same area and I have to say that I really liked their paint schemes and logos. I almost bought a D&H PA1 not long ago just for its looks.
