CP & LE....Cedar Point & Lake Erie, a two foot gauge live steam coal powered line at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. The first Real train I ever rode on. I also like Erie & Lakawanna, Erie, B&O, C&O, C&NW, DT&I (and any other road with Toledo in the name) Ann Arbor, Darjeeling, RhB.....and just about any other foreign narrow gauge road.

Since I like the "old days" I prefer most fallen flag railroads: PRR, NYC, IC, C&NW, CB&Q.

Being from the South,

It's Southern (prior to Norfolk Southern). You know, gives a Green Light.... and all that, I remember seeing it when they first started painting the green light in the "O", thought that was sooo cool.

I also tend to like the Florida East Coast, they are still kicking today despite being a smaller railroad.  I just think the old Yellow and Red Engines were cool.

I'm also going to try and paint a couple S-2's like the FJ&G, my wife is from there, and the paint scheme is pretty cool.

My favorite is Great Northern for it's collors mainly. I always thought my home state railroad (Wisconsin Central - now CN) had the icky colors.

You might want to ask this in the Trains forum but I like the Norfolk and Western, theres nothing better than a long coal drag pulled by two A-class steamers.

Personally, I have a preference towards certain roadnames and equipment, and that interest tends to be in roads in the midwest. Because all 14 years of my life so far have been in Missouri, I especially like the Katy, Missouri Pacific, and other Midwestern roads like the Milwaukee road and the Chicago North Western. What are your guy's favorite roads and why do you tend to like it so much
