BNSF, if I had to chose. Sure, they swallowed ATSF, but... nice paint scheme. Maybe it's just me but I like to think I'm going through an experience much the same as young railfans, say, 50 years ago... you know who you are. You were born in the 40s or 50s, and by the time you were old enough to reeeally appreciate trains... steam was on the way out! You came in at the end of the party, and it wasn't long before you were hard-pressed to find steam in regular service to photograph. I was born in 1985... it really hit home around 1994 when I heard that UP was going to swallow up C&NW, my favorite, the yellow-and-green. And since then I saw the loss of the Santa Fe... Southern Pacfic... Illinois Central... it occurred to me that we're facing a future where, someday, one giant conglomerate transcon will handle all the freight, and passenger will be a distant memory. I came in at the end of the party, and I don't think I can enjoy mainline railroads quite the same as the older folks could back in the day. Sure, any train is a good train, and =nearly= all roads are good roads, but if I want to see true variety it looks like I'm going to have to hunt down regionals and short-lines! Imagine, someday: NSUPCSXBNSF.
