I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Erie-Lackawanna and Deleware & Hudson (yes I know not really a fallen flag, but they had a certain charm before GTI pillaged them.)

The TH&B, Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo. It used track in the Niagara region of southern Ontario. It was, I think part of CPR. I enjoyed the paint schemes of both the motive power and cars.

My favorite would be Southern Pacific all the way! Those SP cab forwards and GS series were by far my favorite, especially the GS4s...

Grew up on Northern Pacific Lines, so they're my faves
BNSF is the grandchild of this road, but they're no railroad, anymore
