That's why they are called a Fallen Flag.

The Southern still serves the South! It's not fallen... it just ate the Norfolk and Western!

It's always a shame when I am affixed to a "FALLING EMPIRE", that within a few decades will also cease to exist from poor ridership. Actually, I would love to be alive when Amtrak is split up to the Class 1 lines or to all the state funds. But, maybe the airlines will default so bad that the raillines will rise again. Just a dream!!

The reason i dont like these polls, cuz its not fair to some of us. CNIC? I dont like either, but you say CNWC then ill vote. When we say" fallen flags" it could be any railroad, thats why this doesnt even make sense half the time. WC

My vote has to be for THE FALLEN FLAG. WABASH!
Why?
I loved an article I read in Trains some years ago. But I loved their loco fleet. Some of the Loco combinations they would run were just awesome.
P.S. Wabash had an "aussie" connection. South Australian Railways had some Budd RDC's painted up in dark Blue. They also had "Bluebird" Railcars, that had fluted silver and Blue sides and whole Blue fronts with yellow horizontal stripes. Kind of neat Huh!
