I assume this is regarding "current" commuter lines.

My favorite is from the past: The New Haven Railroad's commuter trains with the streamlined silver and red American Flyer cars pulled by FL9's and EP5 electrics.[:P][:)][;)]

Favorite Commuter Line
Posted by METRO on Monday, May 3, 2004 12:05 AM
As someone who models a commuter line I wanna know: What's your favorite commuter rail line?

Mine is of course Government of Ontario Transit or GO Transit. It's the line that helped Bombardier develop the modern double decker commuter coach, nicknamed the "pill car" for its shape, and helped EMD make the F59 a perfect commuter locomotive. It was also the only line that proved too much for the F40PH and they kept the classic F7 running untill just reciently.
