5yrman The New York Central was definitely a good railroad and has a great history. It too is one of my favorites. It certainly didn't deserve the fate it suffered.

Stay safe, and Look, Listen, and Live.

Don't forget our troops.

Frisco, Katy, and MOPAC, the RR's that serviced the area where I grew up. Where I live now, probably B&0, Chessie, and Western Maryland.

As you can probably see from my screen name I'm a big fan of the West Point Route (Atlanta & West Point/Western Ry. of Alabama)...it's a toss-up between the Georgia Railroad Group (Georgia RR/ Atl. and West Pt./W of A), the Central of Georgia, and Seaboard Air Line...I also miss pre-Conrail NS.

I love the Southern Pacific. There is something about L-windows and lots of lights that I really admire.

Growing up in the South, I remember the purple of the ACL, the citrus of the SAL and green of the Southern. My favorite was the SAL, frequently riding back and forth to the University of Florida from Ft Lauderdale on the Silver Meteor.
