I've got both NS and CSX running around fairly close by. NS is hiring in the neighborhood... and the local trainmaster said he's looking at major expansion of the number of trains he has going through. Railfan preferance: I like the present day CSX- more colorful than the Henry Ford I-like-any-color-so-long-as-it's-black NS style. Would much prefer the old LNER Southern colors of green and white. But hey, railroads don't do paint schemes based on railfan preference... otherwise there would still be cigar bands and silver running out west. Both railroads look like they are pretty busy- which means profits of some kind. How they use those profits will tell the tale, I think. Have spoken at length with employees on both roads- both roads are equally friendly to railfans with cameras in this neck of the woods. Safety issues: NS is very proud of their 16th Harriman Award, and rightly so. This despite some headline making wrecks over the past year. Not sure why CSX seems to have problems with sun kinks in their rails... it probably has to do more with public perception than actuality. Both are hard working railroads and a joy to watch and film in this part of the South... but if pushed, local loyalty would have to take NS. Erik
