    You certainly have curious mix of old and new here. Some of these like CSX and Norfolk Southern include parts of other like PRR and NYC. You probably should include UP to have all four major roads of today. From what the model manufacturers make you would have to say PRR and Santa Fe (pre merger/war bonnet paint scheme) are the most popular. My favorite from your list is PRR.
    Enjoy

    Since you didn't specify which country, I'm going to assume that you meant Canada, which would mean Canadian Pacific. [;)]

    I like BNSF always have when i was little i would go up to the track and watch the BN trains go pass and then BN and SF came together to form BNSF and it is a cool railroad. I think BNSF has alot of routes around the country. I have a scanner so i can pick up the dispatchers talking to the train crew when there in the area it is cool to listen to them.

    Most popular would be a close race between PRR and ATSF.My favorite,which isn't listed[:(!] is Southern Pacific,which should also be on the list for most popular.
    Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.

    As much as I wanted to vote for my favorit I didn't think that would be lots of people's favorit so I voted for BNSF, that seems like a very popular RR. I was suprised that UP wasn't up there because I would of voted for UP. But when it all boils down to it I think from the poll evidence that it's a little race between PRR and BNSF. PRR is my second favorit railroad. I think many people like the PRR because, they knew wut real passenger rail was and spent millions of dallors to improve infastructure and invest in new inovations for passenger rail. Another reason might be because they had the best electic locos ever, GG1 in dark green paint, one word BEAUTIFUL. PRR gone but not forgotten :)
