I hate alot of stuff, but I don't hate any railroads. Because I like trains and the only place they run trains are railroads. I sometimes hate transit authorities, but if I hate them too much and they go away they might take some passenger trains with them, and I don't want that.

I don't hate any either. I don't like how NS is running my area though.
I like NS but CSX has the B&O.

Let's see, why would someone hate a railroad. The primary reason I've seen here is because they ate another railroad. People don't always favor a particular color scheme.

Sometimes someone has had a bad experience, either as an employee or as a fan. I can understand a grudge in that case, but that passes with time (or another merger).

But let's face it, the main reason we are railfans is because we like railroads. If BN isn't your favorite railroad, fine. It's not mine either. In my case, that's because I like other railroads better. Hate a railroad? Come on!

There are a lot of things that I do not like about some Railroads but there is nothing that that I can anything about it why? Because....It's not my Railroad so who realy cares. My point is this.......
If you hate something,then don't look at it. Don't even Photograph it. Don't even go even near it all,that is my point to this topic. Trains are just TRAINS. We all love Trains. Weather they are TFM,to tim buck two. Stop complaining about certan Railroad and just enjoy them while there still here,because you never know,someday there might be no such as a thing called a TRAIN. Just keep in your mind,WE DO NOT OWN THEM. So who realy cares. Now When the Weather cool down I am going to Railfanning right next to the UPRR even I don't care for the UPRR. I watch because I LIKE TRAINS! Allan.

The type of hate we are talking about here is like the ice creams flavour love and hate. Like I "love" pestachio but I "hate" buterscotch. And I realy do mean hate, because I ain't eating it to save anyones life, wich means I could potentialy kill somebody. hehehehe

Allan,

I'm locking this for two reasons.

First and foremost, topics started with a distict possibility of turning into an argument should be avoid. This topic is a perfect example. People who hate whatever will post their opinion and then a supporter of whatever will come along and debate and argue with the person. No one comes here to read arguments. Please stop.

Second, I'm a BN fan.

Again, please keep things constructive.

Bergie
