I model a northern California interurban–the longest run of any Western interurban, although still a short line by steam railroad standards–that later converted to diesel. Having grown up in California, I have a distinct preference for Western railroading, although Midwestern lines also have their own appeal.
Hey,
Erie Lackawanna & NJ Transit,then anything in NJ -NY for pooling.
i Voted for both but my RR went towards the east coast not sure how far but i think it did. You can probaly guess what railroad it is from my user name.
Mostly Western UP & BN, with a little from Maine, BAR, MEC and BM
I’m not sure! I model the old CB&Q back in the late 1960’s.
I consider them a midwest railroad, but since their slogan was “Everywhere West” (or should that be “Nowhere East”), I guess you could consider them a Western railroad, as I am ASSuming the dividing line between east and west the poll refers to is the Mississippi River. But the Burlington operated both west AND east of it. OTOH, the Burlington Route is also refered to as “Lines East” or “Lines West”. Problem is, THAT designation uses the Missouri River, NOT the Mississippi as the dividing point. Clear as mud, eh! So now I don’t know what the heck kind of railroad I’m modeling. Thanks for making me neurotic with your poll!
