What railroad(s) did we grow up by?

First trains I remember paying attention to were Erie-Lackawanna; I remember seeing what I now know are F-units pulling a passenger train into the station in the center of Passaic, NJ. Next was Conrail. <br /> <br />When we moved to VA, we lived very near the big RF&P yard just below Washington DC, and I remember seeing RF&P, CSX and NS engines there. We still live in the same area (actually a couple of blocks closer to the tracks now), but both the yard and the RF&P are long gone. So now its mainly NS, with the occasional CSX going through. <br /> <br />Funny thing is, I've always been fond of the Santa Fe, and that's what I've always modeled far back as I can remember -- and I never even saw an actual ATSF train until I was well into my 30's, on our first trip to L.A.. I don't know what prompted my fondness for Santa Fe, but there ya go.
