Back in 1975 or even 1980 there would have been many choices. After that the choices became fewer and fewer. I have always liked Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Santa Fe, New York Central, Southern, Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Lines, Missouri Pacific, Frisco, Cotton Belt, Katy and many, many others. [:)] And even some of the "then " fallen flags like Nickle Plate and Wabash. Today we have such little choice. [|)] I have never been a fan of Norfork Western. Therefore, NS is out of the running. I have nothing against CSXT, and even liked B&O, C&O, L&N, and many of their other lines. However, it just doesn't make my favorite list. BN is out of the running but I won't tell you why. If Santa Fe was around it would be in the top 3 of my list. But we all know it is now aligned with BN [:(] . I live in North Little Rock (former Mo Pac area) and see UP trains on a daily basis (BN does some switching here on trackage rights). There is really only one choice. That is Union Pacific. And just think the UP SP merger was a merger of equals. They used Union of Union Pacific for their new first name, and Pacific of Southern Pacific for their second name thus creating the new railroad Union Pacific. (And if you believe all of that the swamp land I have for sale in Arizona is now reduced to $2,497 an acre. Just let me know how many acres you want.) Well that is the way I see it . . . and that's the truth. [;)]
