Least favorite railroad

[philnrunt]

The Pennsylvania Railroad- My grandpa was an engineer for the Big Four(NYC) so all of my family were raised thinking that anything tuscan red was inferior. We knew where the butter on our bread came from.
Of course, when they merged, I couldn't understand how two diametrically opposed entities could ever become one. No worry, they did'nt.
I did'nt like PC for the longest time, then I slowly became used to them, and now I dearly miss the old multi colored poorly maintained barely running trains.
And one of my best memories is of a Pennsy passenger (I like freight) consist, windows warmly glowing, kicking up the snow speeding through the windswept cornfields of northern Indiana.
I sure miss those days.

Least favorite??? Mine!! You know, the one in my basement!! It is virtually always bankrupt, suffers from maintenance woes, never able to expand to it's full potential, and operates rarely because of competing time schedules.
As far as the REAL ones, I like 'em all. Business is business, so I can't fault UP for doing what every other company does.

I haven't been UP fan since time began (my time at least). Except for the big power they are fond of, there isn't much I like about them. Once they started gobbling up everything west of the Mississippi River and some of it east of there, things haven't been the same, of course nothing could top the corporate greed going on there today. Gimme a C & EI "Buzzsaw", Mopac "Thunder Chicken" and the days when the Northwestern ran across from my parents house. Just think, 25 years ago I disliked the U.P., looks like I was ahead of the game.
