I have to say, my all-time favorite is the Chicago & Northwestern. For the past 10 years I've lived within five blocks of the frieght cutoff from Proviso to Milwaukee (UP, ex-C&NW), and across town from the former C&NW (now UP/Metra) commuter operation to Harvard. Sorry to the fans of Uncle Pete, but armour yellow will never hold the same place in my heart as the old yellow-and-green!
