Lest we forget, the Chessie System was an excellent marketing concept with a striking livery. It was a shame that in the CSX Merger the Seaboard influence required the death knell on the Kitten.

Norfolk and Western (and by default NS)- they just seem to quietly go about their business and remain profitable ( or at least solvent)

Of all time I'd go with the Southern Pacific.
