  • D&RGW was a very scenic RR all thru the rockys all the way to SLC UT
    where the meeting of the westerns was D&RGW & WP & SP
    It's wierd how all these RR's Are now 1 major RR UPRR SP Aquired D&RGW
    In 1994 Then was sucked in to UP In 1997 WP was aquired by UP in 1980 i think
    Then the MOPAC & MKT in 1984 then C&NW & CHTT in 1995 the year BN & ATSF
    meged into BNSF now UP Is the biggest and has a nice display of color schemes
    SP D&RGW & CNW be nice to see some WP MP & MKT with a UP patch on the nose
    and then theres the Old F units of D&RGW real nice paint scheme the Rio Grande
    passenger train was a real beautiful one along with SP's daylight colors on some
    E unit which kinda looks like MILW road color scheme in a way ever notice that
    I would love to see The IC's business train that loco was beautiful in New Orleans

  • Those of us who live in "The West" think of the Wisconsin Central as an eastern road.
  • I did not vote because I have never been that far west!
  • I voted for CNW, I like that railroad very much.
  • I voted for GN my first train ride was on the new EMPIRE BUILDER in February 1947. Rode the train probably some twenty five times since including the Amtrak version. Also rode the INTERNATIONALS, WESTERN STAR, WINNIPEG LIMITED, BADGER, GOPHER, CASCADIAN and DAKOTAN. Only GN train ever disappointed in was the Seattle - Portland pool train. Also experienced the NP and SP&S passenger trains and even the CB&Q trains on several occasions. Maybe I should have voted BN or BN-SF as also rode the AT&SF as well. But the GN always seemed to put an extra foot forward to make every trip memorable.
  • America's Resourceful Railroad all the way!
  • Southern Pacific[:)].You can't beat the Daylights behind a streamlined GS2,3,4,or 5.Think of the Overland or City of San Francisco climbing over Donner Pass behind Red & Orange PAs,or the Shasta Daylight in the Oregon Cascades.Also there was the beautiful Budd built 1950 Sunset Limited.And we mustn't forget the Golden State,shared with the Rock Island,between Chicago and Los Angeles.Or freight trains behind A-B-B-A sets of Black Widow F units[:D]!!!
    Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.
