I voted other because you didn't have my favorites on there.

I do have a certain affinity for WP and RI and there is little in this country as glorious and breathtaking as D&RGW coming up through the Big Ten Curves westbound out of Denver. But living here in the far, far reaches of the wild, wild west I am naturally drawn to ........... Coal Haulers (C&O, B&O, N&W. CC&O [that's the Clinchfield for you uninitiated - it stood for Carolina, Clinchfield, and Ohio]and L&N). I also like C&NW, SL-SF, and the good old Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio.

We've had the poll before, but probably not since you joined the forum. Unfortunately, though my favorites are on your list, the list doesn't allow for multiple choice.
Therefore, my favorite RAILROADS, on my Yuba River Sub are;
DENVER AND RIO GRAND WESTERN
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
and both during the hectic power-short, traffic-heavy days of WWII steam.
Other through trains that appear on my Yuba River Sub are:
Great Northern
Santa Fe

Other locos that appear (borrowed for the War Effort) are:
Colorado & Southern
Chesapeake & Ohio
Pennsylvania
Missouri Pacific
Norfolk and Western
Frisco
Western Pacific

I NEVER know what' s coming through the next tunnel and across the next bridge, LOL!
