who's your favorite current railroad

[Soo2610]

The WC. I grew up three houses down from the tracks when they were still running steam and passenger trains as the Soo Line. At that time it was a double track mainline, since reduced to single track and now going back to double track with the introduction of commuter service. This has always been my favorite railroad and I still keep abreast of their doings. Have been to the yard in Fond Du Lac a number of times.

The KCS is a great little road. Quietly hauling tonnage out of Port Arthur for years, it is now back-hauling tonnage to Mexico;all the while paying dividends and providing the base capital for mutual funds that are today big. My dad ran trains into KC and i saw some KCS transfer activity and 1 or 2 passenger runs in KCUS. My fave is the old SF out of loyalty and familiarity but i do admire a good operation when i see it.

out of the current crop of railroads, who's your favorite(s) and why.
mine's the KCS, they are my hometown railroad, my grandpa and uncle worked for 'em, and I like that they are a (fairly)small, scrappy independant that occaisionaly makes a little noise, (like their part ownership of TFM). I have a lot of fond memories as a kid watching their trains, and I still like to watch 'em when I get back home.
