Erie Lackawanna. To see the crews cutting-back brush, filling-in gaps, dropping
ballast and laying track between Preble and Decatur, IN, would be the day I know I made it to Heaven.

I'd make GTW-CN go back to their green/ yellow maple leaf days.
I'd put Wabash + NKP + L&N to have a strong midwestern rr with a good link to southeast & gulf ports. The Floridian would link midwest to Florida via Atlanta.
Pan American to run New York-Nashville-New Orleans (mexico).
Daily broadcast of train sounds from WSM radio tower.
D&RGW would run a daily Rio Grande Zephyr

I vote for the Burlington Northern.

It was a very nice paint scheme.

Cascade Green, Black and White.

I wonder who thought the BNSF was a nice paint sheme?

Also the Great Northen would be nice with the Big Sky Blue and Gray and White.
