Ah, a typical normal day on the old UP. JK.
Im 19 a little old o well. I am a big BN fan but NS has sentimental value to me, because i drove the NS/BNSF transfer in downtown Memphis with a pair of NS Dash 9's. The only train i have driven so far but a dream come true non the less!

I'm 18, so I guess I'm a little old as well, but I definately like NS.  I really like their paint scheme for some reason, and, kill me if you must, but I love the third generation P5s that some of their locomotives have.

Espee? Nah. I'm well past 13, but loved the NS then and still do. Heck, I remember when it was the Southern in my hometown. Those Tuxedo style SD-40s with the green and gold SR logos on the front made a big impression on me, as did the Southern's practice of setting the hood units up with the long hood as the front.
