Favorite US Railroad?

[Ferrous]

Wow, I'm suprised that there wasn't one of these threads already.

So, if you couldn't guess the question from the thread title:

What is your favorite US railroad (could also be a list if you don't have a definitive favorite) and why?

My list:
KCS,
NS,
PRR,
SAL/SCL,
L&N,
Southern,
NKP,
SP,
N&W,
and ATSF
all rank pretty high on the list, but number one is:

Missouri Pacific.

Why? It's probably one of the more unmentioned railroads, as far as fame and general knowledge goes. Plus, I like their paint schemes (except the canary yellow one).
