I was the American Orient Express also. Actually I'm the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, Conrail and CSX, but if I had to pick just one, I'd have to be the Santa Fe...

I also am the Underground Railroad. Guess I need some stealth locomotives and boxcars with false bottoms.
Enjoy

You're the Transcontinental Railroad!
A true uniter and not a divider, you have achieved some great things for those around you. Yet by bringing so many people together, you've had to step on the toes of those even older and wiser than yourself. Still, you're regarded as something of a hero, perhaps even on a national level. Most of what you've done is the result of pure hard labor. Though you have a hard time admitting it, much of your success is also thanks to contributions from China.

Beats me!!!

I am Union Pacific and I always thought this about my self here is what it said:

Considered by some to be a relic from a bygone era, you have persisted in showing that old dogs can learn new tricks. With one foot planted firmly in the past, the other foot is trying to firmly stomp on the trucking industry. This leaves your legs quite stretched out, but your hopes for the future are looking UP. When you've tried to promote yourself recently, it's been really schmaltzy yet strangely heartwarming.
