Favorite Fallen Flag Railroad

  • B & O

    Best and Only.....America's first railroad.

    Never too old to have a happy childhood!

                  

  • I had to vote for the C&O. The reason why I really miss this railraod is for their short lived but, excellent locomotives the Alleghenys and the Northerns. This is one of the main reasons why I like CSX.

    My second favorit is the PRR. My poor great grandpop would kill me for saying the C&O is my favorit fallen flag. He used to work for the PRR, and didn't care too much for C&O However, I didn't like the New York Central and PRR merger.
    LORD HELP US ALL TO BE ORIGINAL AND NOT CRISPY!!! please? Sarah J.M. Warner conductor CSX
  • Chicago & Northwestern.
  • Since you only listed Eastern railroads,I vote for the Standard Railroad of the World[:D]! Pennsy is my favorite Eastern road.I love the GG1s, And I think that Pennsy steam was beautiful. I really liked the Belparie(sp?) firebox on PRR steamers.My overall favorite is Southern Pacific,as can be seen by my username[8D].
    Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.
  • Rock Island with BN and CNW (if they count) distant 2nd and 3rd
  • PRR has long been a favorite with me, but I like the others also. The GG1 and the K4 are my favorite engines.
    Enjoy

    If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.
  • Of course you meant favorite EASTERN fallen flags. For me that would be the LV. But nation wide, I'd have to say Northern Pacific.
  • Pennsy!
    Think Horseshoe Curve
    Think Broadway Limited
    Think "Standard Railroad Of The World"
    Think of my great-grandfather who came west to Ohio from Pittsburgh to work for PRR
    But I do miss all the others that touched my corner of the world
    long, long, short, long. Thumbs Up
  • Has to be the ESPEE.
  • The New York Central, Great Steel Boulevard, Water Level Route or whatever you want to call the nation's greatest trunk line.
  • No question about it .

    #1 The FRISCO, the SL-SF
    #2 The Dixie Line, the NC&StL
    #3 The Old Relible, the L&N
    #4 The Main LIne of Mid America, the ICRR
  • Go Great Northern!!![:D]
  • what about the MKT katy lines the D&RGW rio grande road
    MILW Milwuakee road T&P & NYC
    they were some good roads
  • Oh, this one again?!

    My stock answer to this question the first two hundred times it's been asked on this forum already is:
