My favorite is Most favortie Modern Day railroad is the Wisconsin & Southern, a regional railroad operating in Southern WI, as the name implies. I ahve sever fallen flag favorites, with the tops being:

1-tied, Green Bay and Western, bridge railroad in Central Wisconsin, and the Hillsboro and Northeastern, a shortline that operated from the early 1900's to the late 1980's in Central WI. It was only a 6 mile line, that connected with the CNW.
and number 2: The Wisconsin Central, a regional now part of the CN.

My favorite railroad is the IHBRR, which is headquartered in Hammond, In. It has 5 yards that I know of: 1) is the Gibson Yard in Hammond, In; 2 is the Blue Island Yard in Riverdale, Il; 3 is the Alsip Yard (which is basically for switching cars in and out of the industries in Alsip, Il). 4) is the Argo Yard at 63rd and Archer Ave, in Summit, Il. I think they got their name from the fact that they are to the northeast of Argo Corn Products. 5) Yard 5 is Norpaul in Melrose Park, Il. ralph zimmer n9kym@aol.com

Fallen Flag favorite the awesome FRISCO which was a modern railroad with an old time down home flair.

Today's favorite the KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN the progressive, profitable baby of the Class I's with its Southern Belle business train in 1950 colors.

I wish I lived in a different area of the country, but since I do not, I will say I equally like the 3 I have around here CSX, Norfolk Southern, Wheeling & Lake Erie.
