Here’s a link to a quiz that someone had posted in rec.models.railroad.
I don’t know if it’s been seen here before. Kinda fun:

I got 8 out of 10 correct. Blew BOTH of the Amtrak questions (shows how interested I am in “modern” passenger equipment).
So what’s YOUR score???[:D]
JEFF
Pretty pathetic. I only got 4 out of 10, but I did get one of the Amtrak questions right. (Only because I guessed it right.) I had just read an article in Classic Trains on the FM C-Liners so I also knew that answer.
Tom
Only 4 of 10 right. But I’m new, and not a great student of trains…yet!
Trevor[:)]
I got 6 of 10, and thought those were tough questions. I’m not great with locomotives.
I finished with a 7 out of ten. I missed questions 2, 4 and 5. Dave
I got Q. 9 Wrong [:(]
And I’m a Steam Man
That’s right 9/10!!!
Whoa Hoooooo!!
I’m the man!!!
Sorry Guys I couldn’t resist.
Fergie
I could have guessed, but I didn’t know the answer to any of them.
You know if thye would have asked prototype questions about Hogwarts Freight and Ferry I’d have aced it, I tell you.

10 of 10 right. being old has some advantages!
7 out of 10.
Missed both the CNW questions, not surprisingly, and the Superliner car question.
I should spend more time building my model railroad and less time amassing answers to railroad trivia!!

Got 10 out of 10, lucky guess
4 / 10 for me. Guess I better stick to steam.
Enjoy

Woohoo! 10/10 and I could care less about the CNW, I can’t believe TWO questions were CNW specific like that! I got lucky on the Santa Fe one, too.

7 of 10. Didn’t know the Superliner answer, Gas Turbine nickname or the Express car question. Didn’t know a couple of others, but wandered into the answer by process of elimination. Good thing the “essay question” was known!
7/10 for me, I got all the EMD/Alco-related questions correct, but I missed 2 passenger-related questions and the UP gas turbine nickname one.

7 of 10 - which surprised me. Thought I’d do far worse.
Oh yeah Ferg, rub it in.[}:)][;)]
I should have known that one where you had to type in the 2 word answer. I love the looks of the SD-24 which also has those things. [:I]
