My least favourite Railroad would have to be the U.P. as they sucked up so many of my favourites and then, it was just no longer anything but BIG business. A very important factor in the personality of a railroad company is who is running it, the folks at the top and how their philosiphy makes it's way into the people and operations trackside. S.P. used to really suck at some locations while they were really cool at others. With the bigger roads each division can be, and often is a mini-railroad within the whole. Although fans of CGW or whom ever the particular predecessor, would yern for the old days, the C&NW was always for me, interesting and by far most of the employees I met or had contact with were great. Then it all ended with Uncle Pete, more than a few customers felt "shafted" too as we can all recall. <br /> I'm amazed that N.S. gets such low marks as in the past what I've seen & heard of them and customers served, they were very proud to be a railroad, much, MUCH more so than CSX. But that isn't saying much in it's self is it. The CSX merger was a real morale buster too as it turned out. <br /> BN often seemed to be needless jerks at best, but again depending on which fallen flag's division it was, they could be very good. Railroad companies are the people behind the big machines, and where they go, places & people served. That is the weighing factor for me anyway. <br /> Chris
