QUOTE: Originally posted by wrwatkins I agree that we should give reasons why we classify a line as best or worst. Read the recent issue of Trains regarding the NS, which is now a scheduled railroad like the CN. How can you say a very profitable railroad that runs on time can be the worst?
QUOTE: Originally posted by uspscsx Best: 1)CSX 2)BNSF 3)CP Rail 4)KCS/NAFTA 5)The WC, SOO, and IC parts of CN 6)Shortlines! Worst: 1)NS 2)The rest of CN 3)Amtrak In-between: 1)FEC 2)Whoever Maine Central folded into 3)Arizona and California
