Thank you for this poll, and once again, the Pennsylvania Railroad has a commanding lead. The problem is that you mispelled PRR as other.

Later...

Just occured to me, the title of the post should be "What is your favorite railroad?" not the locomotive. This is based on the selection of railroad carriers, not locomotives. However, I think the locomotive list would be very extensive .

BNSF Class 1 railroading at its finest. Hauls everything from intermodal to the heavy grain and coals trains.

Canadian National, any railroad that also owns the tallest structure on the planet (CN tower, Toronto) has got my vote. Lets see CSX or BNSF do that.
