Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
It's not the trains to dislike, it's the railroad. The trains are cool. Especially if they are dirty. I've never seen a clean CSX engine.
I started a thread kinda like this awhile ago. But compeletly oppsite. It's intitled, Can you really hate other railroads?

check out www.CSX-Sucks.com. if you really hate CSX, go there
as for my most DISLIKED that would have to be CNRail. they have so many derailments that polutte the rivers in Canada. to pay it off, they pay a small fraction of the damage. their paint schemes and locomotives are OK but they keep getting rid of so many locomotives. its just like the WC SD45s. those were all cut up along with a majority of the BCRail equipment. at least the CPR kept some TH&B heritage alive without repaints. if not, i would have an NW2 in the action red scheme. i just wish that BCRail was bought by CPRail because then i would see more CPRail stuff rolling through Squamish.
guess we all have to contend with this...
I think its natural to "hate" the railroads that now run over territory of a predecessor road. Especially now that some RRs don't include the previous RRs in their new names. Plus its always easy to hate the big guys.
My least favorite (notice I didn't say hate) is Union Pacific. Lots of reasons. probably none of them really any good. But if I get stopped at a crossing with UP stuff, I'm just as excited as any other RR.

I'm going to take this slice of a post, cuz what the heck, why not raise a ruckus. Well, I now actually have a loco of them.
CSX...i've not quite gotten over my distaste that this northeastern/appalachian railroad is based in Jacksonville...FLORIDA, and now does an increasing amount of their remote control from there, with their executives no doubt luxuriating on lawn chairs in between checking their options and playing golf on breezy, verdant courses. But I have too much love of the old C&O lines and WM to go on hating CSX for being CSX forever. And each new derailment or screw-up they have adds to the spice of life. And you got to have someone to compare NS to with a smile.
