We miss them all !!. Each of us for our own reasons, but they all beat today's sterilized Class 1's, with their "monkey see-monkey do" attitude. They have all turned their backs on the most important people, the employees-but again that's corporate America ca. 21st century!

Santa Fe all the way

My "other" vote is for the Grand Trunk Western. My earliest railfan experiences were watching trains on GTW in and around Pontiac, MI in the early '60's. Trips from Pontiac to Chicago (where I was born and have lived 90% of my life) took me into Dearborn Station where I appreciated the other tenant roads and got starry-eyed about the Santa Fe, which I had only seen in the form of Lionel F3's and the layout at the Museum of Science and Industry before. ATSF would be second, followed by PRR (on account of an old Lionel GG1 I wish I still had so I can retire).

Lackawanna! The Road of Anthracite and the Route of Phoebe Snow! The 1500's were the handsomest 4-8-4's ever built! The yellow and maroon livry was the classiest ever conceived.

Frisco of the 50's with those black and yellow diesals growling on the upgrade heading south from Kansas City thru Johnson County. Toss in the Katy because they had track rights to Paola Kansas.

I love the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and Milwaukee Road. I remember growing up in the 90's and seeing the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific.

B & O as I used to watch the old F and E units go by across the street from my grandmother's house. The B & O went north and south and the New York Central (which took over the old Big 4 (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and St. Louis), went east and west. I remember seeing my one and only sighting of a steam locomotive on the B & O, though I don't remember the year.
