You asked what name we like not what company or color scheme.

Eire Lackawanna is cool no mater how you look at it. sound sort of Native American.

I don't care for UP and I don't know why I don't want their engines.

You might say I have an .Eire Lackawanna

Well, I voted Santa Fe, but I also model Union Pacific. I also like Missouri Pacific, Wabash, Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, Pennsylvania, New York Central, Lehigh Valley, Rutland, and on and on. I model UP and ATSF. I like all of the above and many, many more. I guess we need one of those polls where we can "select as many as apply".

Cheers

I would have to say Erie Lackawanna. There's just something so...industrial and blue collar about it. I really like switchers so it seems to make sense that the EL would appeal to me. If I were to switch from modeling the NYC to another railroad, the EL would be in my top 3: EL, AC&Y, and probably C&O.

I voted for Norfolk & Western, since they had a branch line near where I grew up (an ex-NKP line), but overall, my vote would split between Penn Central and Monon.

I put the D&H because the colors are awesome(they should get some C420s, and some C628s and repaint them in the D&H lightning stripe scheme)I was suprised PRR, the Reading, and the LV were not on your poll, they are the great eastern roads, and i also like the N&W

I like Southern. My great-grandad was an engineer on the Southern, Back when it was steam and transition. I agree with spacemouse, I don't like UP. Don't know why, it could be because I had two UP loco's give up the ghost [:(!][:(]. All for now! [8D][tup]
