The Southern Railway. They had beautifully detailed locomotives, good looking paint schemes, particularly on their passenger steam locomotives, and they ran through some of the most beautiful and yet challenging parts of the country.

What? No Nickel Plate Road or Wabash? What's this world coming to?
N&W means Nickel Plate and Wabash not Norfolk and Western.
As told to me by an employee of the N&W." We taught the NKP how to run coal trains".
My response--"No the NKP showed you all how to coal trains fast!"

erie/e-lack. lived next to erie track. Used to hand notess to engineer on a stick with string. For a kid it was fun. And he gave me answers on the next days trip back. Should have listened to him and hired on later to learn engineering. Got into airplanes instead. Model trains now. Bernt T.

Grew up in upstate NY. First ride ever on a passenger train was on the LVRR. Later grew to appreicate features like the picturesque curve near the LVRR Geneva depot, a quaint weed infested branch to Naples and the Leaky Valley's revival of a Cornell red locomotive paint scheme.

I grew up on the NYC but, without question, I miss Conrail the most for a myriad of reasons.
