Favorite Fallen Flag Railroad

    My favorite railroad was the Former Delaware Lackawanna & Western railroad. Although they couldn't match the other railroads in Miles of track owned, they could still make their railine as straight and level as possible. It was just such a unique railroad.

    The Wabash is the favorite, also the IT. I guess it is time to admit that the N & W is also a fallen flag. CBQ_Guy, do you count the M&IB&B as part of the Q, or is it a fallen flag of it's own?

    I grew up next to the Chesapeake & Ohio,what else would it be?
    I miss ALL the Fallen Flags;C & O just sticks with me more than most.
    When you 'grow' up around towns named 'Raceland,Russell,Ashland,Huntington"
    you develop an affection for the area,and other things that are around in the
    same area.

    Locomutt has it right! I miss all of them, too. I'm a west coast guy, though, and my favorite will always be the Southern Pacific.
