  • I wish Penn Central was still around, with how they were doing in the 1970's, it would probably be a shortline today[:D].
  • SOUTHERN PACIFIC!

  • I have a feeling that if PC was still around...they would have sold or abandoned most (if not all) of the duplicate trackage/facilities and become profitable...just like Conrail eventually did. I still find it interesting that black diesels now roam the former CR lines around Pittsburgh.

    With that said, having PC, P&LE, the Montour, MGA et al, would be a nice change from all the CSX and NS power around Pittsburgh :)
  • GREEN BAY & WESTERN!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN ALL THEIR ALCO GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I love the smell of ALCo smoke in the Morning. "Long live the 251!!!" I miss the GBW and my favorite uncle is Uncle Pete. Uncle Pete eats Space Noodles for breakfast.
  • Southern. I hope they would still purchase high-hoods.
  • B&M
    with sd40's and intermodel
  • I would have to bring back the PRR. Especially those GG1s on excursion service, or even the t1s. After the PRR, i would bring back the Lehigh Valley, because of all of the C420s they owned, and then the Reading.
