    Strictly as a roadname (no reflection of its size or relative import to the overall industry), I always liked "Alabama Great Southern." Sounds very impressive. As for a road that could actually deliver on the impressive part (at one time, at least), I'd go with "Southern Pacific."

    Max, may i ask what state of mind you were in when you wrote this? Your last railroad, is, well, is just a monster, and not a CLASSY railroad by any means. Hunter should be shot, with his little IC friends too.

    Least fovorite: The UP - they've been gobbling up TOO many of their competitors. I also prefer for US railroads to remain in US hands not Canadian. How many roads in Canada are owned by US companies?


    I couldnt agree more (with the US/CAN topic)

    CN can go back to its unstable self in Canada instead of being in there prime in the US, at the cost of 2 great roads!

    WISCONSIN CENTRAL LIMITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
