Without a doubt the Canadian Pacific IS the worlds best NORTH of the 49th! <br />The Spiral Tunnels, Rogers Pass, not to mention the Fraser River Gorge! <br />Amazing what they did in the late 1800's!!! Selkirks, Royal Hudsons, 3100/3101, 9000, the list goes on and on... <br />Long Live the Golden Beaver! <br />[bow] <br />As for SOUTH of the 49th, well my opinion is equally divided between the two roads I model - The Milwaukee Pacific Extension vs. the Rio Grande. The Milwaukee's Electric crossing of the Rockies and Snoqualmie, vs. the Rio Grande's crossing THROUGH the Rockies via Tennessee Pass + Royal Gorge / Moffat Tunnel with that climb outta Denver - Jaw droppers each and every one. <br />[soapbox] <br />AS FOR THE REST...... <br />------------------------------- <br /><> SP, Uncle Pete - you gotta be kidding me RIGHT!?! <br /><> The NP and GN - OK - they were awesome routes with great trains. <br /><> SF - Warbonnets were classics, but they chickened out and went around the mountains just like the SP! <br /><> WP, well the Keddie bridges and the run into the Bay area were awesome, but they were just 1 piece of the greater Zepher route - not a REAL transcon (LIKE THE CPR!) <br />[bow]
