My favorite is Burlington Northern because I grew up with Burlington Norhtern in Chicago along their 3 track mainline to Aurora

"Northern Pacific" should've been on there. "Rock Island" should've been on there. "Down & Back, Maybe" should've been on there.

I agree w/ ya pat BNSF is cool. I too like the Pumkin paint scheme. Whoever thought of BNSF's paint knew wut he was doing. I also like the SF warbonet paint scheme. BNSF's routes are very senic too like Cajon Pass, Marias Pass, and the Power River Coal Basin.

BNSF is the best because of the paint scheme on the locomotives and they have the routes in the best places (montana).

But I will always like CN because they go through my home town

Oviously I had to vote for CSX it's the railroad I grew up on. When I was born in 1986 so was CSX. My second choice would have to be the good old PRR. It's gone but not forgoten[:(][8)]

I voted for Norfolk Southern but only because the Virginian wasn't on the list.

I've always been very fond of CSX having grown up around the B&O and Western Maryland RR. My grandfather was a breakman for the B&O and I remember going to the yards and watching him work and riding the the cab with the engineers. You can't really get away with that now.

CN has been running some really long intermodal trains out of Roberts Bank...

I think the longest was somewhere around 14000 feet.

I know I often see them hitting 140, 150 cars on a normal day..... can take a long time when they are passing by at 20 Miles an hour... [:)]
