CSX, NS, and a regional Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton RR. The C,H, & D was once a real railroad but it vanished back in the dark ages of steam [:D]
My version is what the C,H,&D could have been had it survived until present times. Plus a lease unit.

I started out with one but it sort of evolved from there because of some really neat stuff available. So now I have CB&Q, AT&SF, UP, C&NW and IC. All pre-merger stuff. All roads cross somewhere in the midwest.

I'm a certified C&NW nut so I've got a lot of green and yellow. Throw in UP, a couple of AMTRAK units, Santa Fe, and I'm just finishing a California Northern GP-15 (Ex C&NW)

I have 2: my Central Missouri & Southern and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Osage Valley Tie & Lumber Co. The OVT&L is a self-contained logging road. The CM&S will eventually interchange with Missouri Pacific and M-K-T ("Katy") - when that part of the benchwork is completed.

Anything that used to operate along the Colorado Joint line in the 60's / 70's.

The question is a bit too open ended (ie ambiguous) I run locomotives of one railroad that I Model with a few of predecessor roads when I modernize for a session but have rolling stock from all connected and some further foreing as would be found on the prototype.

My own road, plus some "visitors" from the Illinois Railway Museum (models of engines in the IRM collection).

Right now my layout is "laid up", but soon I will be running MILW RD, GN and SOO. Kind of an upper midwest rural locale. I would like to add CB&Q, and NP just to add a little flavor! Recently, Atlas added the GE U25B in N scale to its excellent line of diesels. When I saw a CB&Q & GN in Sky Blue together, I thought that would make a great patriotic combination![;)]
