Probably Conrail, although its technically not a fallen flag yet. On freight cars you can see anything, and not even think about it.

In my area lots of Southern eqipment is seen. The railroad became a fallen flag in 1979. Years later most of or at least it seems most of NS eqipment still reads "Green light to innovation" or "Southern serves the South".
Since when did SOUTHERN become a fallen flag in 1979? They merged with Norfolk & Western in 1982... [;)]

I'd say around here I see a lot of SOO equipment, Canadian Pacific is good that way, a little slow getting 'em repainted! But that's ok, good for variety and "ooo, look what I saw"!

In my neck of the woods I've seen mostly Illinois Central, Grand Trunk, Santa Fe, and an occasional ConRail, CNW or Soo Line unit. I miss all these fallen flags. [:(]

See lots of BN, SOO, some Santa Fe, some C&NW and some SP out here in the midwest.

They make for a nice change when railfanning[^]

Well if you mean loco's that for sure it is the blue/yellow ATSF ones. If you mean cars they my impression where I trainfan CNW by far is the winner. [:p][:p]

For me it would have to be Santa Fe and WC since I moved also I see alot of IC up here.
Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.

In Calgary, I haven't seen a fallen flag in a year.
I went to Jasper, to the CN, and saw a whole bunch of BCRail, which made me happy.
