Hello Sheldon, I am not trying to cause or make model railroaders worry about others will think about their choices, I am just asking why as I am curious about CSX as a choice of railroad to model, as I am not that framiler with that railroad (CSX) that much, with me knowing slighly more about Norfolk Southern than CSX, and the other Class 1 railroads I know much more about.

Prehaps I should have been more careful when asking why, and instead have asked “That Interested You To Model CSX?”

Your OP was fine. Don’t worry about it. For those of us who stay abreast of current railroads, yes, there have been some negative comments about CSX, primarily because of the CEO. Similar comments were made about his predecessor RR, Canadian Pacific (or was it CN?). I get the gist of your comment.

So yeah, many current railroaders employed in the business who are also model railroaders have made some comments about CSX.

But I don’t think it is a common issue or an issue that would influence someone’s choice of modeling CSX.

I prefer NS over CSX simply because I am more familiar with the heritage RRs of the NS…SOU, NW, CofG to name a few.

I’m a free lance shortline modeler, so all of tha class Is are the same RR to me. Just a little different paint schemes (with UP being the best for modeling, IMO)

Hey thanks Doughless, I am guessing while OP means “original poster,” I am guessing that means “orginal post,” am I right?
