They've been very friendly to me in the past, and I've had no trouble out of them while railfanning my local yard. <br />2)BNSF-I love their older paint schemes. The swoosh...not so much. <br />3)CP Rail-It's the only other Canadian railroad other than CN! <br />4)KCS/NAFTA-I truthfully don't know. I've just always had a thing for them. <br />5)The WC, SOO, and IC parts of CN-WC, SOO, and IC have always seemed to have locomotives on CSX freights around here. Plus I love WC and SOO's pain scheme. <br />6)Shortlines!-Most interesting rolling stock you can find. Patches, rust, graffiti. You name it, it always seems to hit these cars. <br /> <br /> <br />Worst: <br />1)NS-Runs over everybody in a city about 20 miles from here. In this year alone there have been about 10 accidents in that city. I don't see CSX having problems like that here... <br />2)The rest of CN-It ate up WC, SOO, and IC! <br />3)Amtrak-Ah-hem...Do I need to say it? <br /> <br /> <br />In-between: <br />1)FEC-Hmm...FEC...Well, don't like 'em, but don't hate 'em. Don't know why either. <br />2)Whoever Maine Central folded into-Skip. <br />3)Arizona and California-Never seen it. It's about a million miles away from here. <br /> <br />
