Then why do you have an NS avatar?Something went wrong with my picture and for some reason I could edit my post. Just another Trainz fail I guess. Anyways, here is the picture that I wanted to post making my CSX spirit stand out!
Favorite US Railroad?
- Thread starter Ferrous
- Start date
The favorite RR? Well, the Espee (Octopus) comes to mind immediately, as does it's evil twin, the Union Pacific. But if I had to pick a favorite, then it would be the romantic North Pacific Coast Railroad, a 3 foot gauge beauty that ran through some of the most magnificent scenery in the world, the northern California coast and the spectacular coast redwood groves, Sequoia sempervirens, see these pix https://www.google.com/search?q=seq...wGCwIDwBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CFYQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=844. Ran from Sausalito to Cazadero. Agglomerated into the Northwestern Pacific, (Espee and ATSF), and ran all the way up to near Eureka.
No one who has ever gone up through Garberville, Phillipsville, Rio Dell, and up to Ferndale and Eureka, the Northwestern Pacific, has remained unchanged; and the Samoa Cookhouse, at the end of the line, left no one unfilled (best pancakes in the world). I sometimes wonder how much is left.

Why do I have a Lehigh Valley locomotive as a Avatar even though my fav railroad is the Rock Island? Since I like the Snowbird paint scheme. xero could like NS's paint scheme or the forums don't have his fav locomotive.
From the top rank down here are my favorites:
1. Burlington Northern
2. Atchison Tpeka & Santa Fe
3. Southern Pacific
4. Great Northern
Why? Bc GN had their very bright and good-looking Big Sky Blue scheme; BN looked absolutely stunning with the Cascade green, especially against a mountain backdrop; ATSF had some very nice-looking engines (WARBONNETS FOR THE WIN!!!!) and #3751 still runs today; Southern Pacific's 'Daylight' streamliners were very sharp looking and 4449 is the best looking steamer out there!
I hope nobody disagrees with BN taking first place.

B&O - Baltimore and Ohio
WMRR - Western Maryland Railroad
NCR - Northern Central Railway (became a part of Pensy almost from day one)
MA&PA - Maryland and Pennsylvania, a narrow gauge shortline.
I grew up near the NCR and close to the old right of way from MA&PA - I could see the rotting remains of them both as a kid and was endlessly fascinated with them and what might have been had they not fallen.
