Re: Anybody 13 ,and like norfolk southern?

 

I'm 16. The NS is okay and I guess you could say its my favorite modern railroad, but I still prefer the Southern Railway. But hey, if the N&W hadn't merged with the Southern, then its likely the 611 and 1218 would have never been restored to operation, let alone operate in famous places like Saluda and the Loops between Old Fort and Ridgecrest.

In fact, before Flagg Coal #75 visited the South Carolina RR Museum in October, the 611 was the last steamer to operate in the state of SC.

Re: Anybody 13 ,and like norfolk southern?

UP is my favorite RR, but the eastern pick is NS.

It's also my mom's favorite railroad.

Re: Anybody 13 ,and like norfolk southern?

Mine is 12-14-93. Today I have seen 3 NS Dash 9s, a NS ES44DC, a CP ES44AC, and a KCS Belle unit.
Ah, a typical normal day on the old UP. JK.
