Hi, Do you like dumb polls, like the above dumb one?

2

Momma always said MR polls are like a box of chocolates…ya never know what yer gonna git.

I’d modify this poll to read:

Realroad favorite?
What is your favorite real railroad?

Santa Fe–short for A. T. S. F;
A.T.S.F.–as the boys running the Santa Fe would likely refer to it;
Santer Fay–as Tammy Faye Baker would pronounce it, mascara ‘bleeding’ down her cheeks in joy;
Other–what the Federal Government would label it as they sought to eliminate ‘waste’.

I voted other. Dumb poll.

5

I missed PANAM on this one![:P]
i did not know the other airlines, this is the right forum isn’t it?

6

I am going to say Amtrak because it’s the only one I can ride [in this country anyway]

7

As for a real railroad, the ATSF doesn’t exist, at least not by itself.
As much as I love the Sante Fe railroad, my heart belongs with the CPR.
It’s still a real railroad.

I believe that Guilford did or tried to buy PanAM

9

I voted other. This was a pointless poll.

10

Bingo…I think the point way just made.

11

How dumb of a poll was it, 10 being the dumbest?

12

What about American arlines, your forgetting them. I aint even going to vote as in my opinion the Santa Fe didn’t come close to the Rock Island. on a scale of 1 to 10 I will rate this poll 10 for dumbness !! [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Gordon Yeah I gues your right , But I still miss the good ol SOO as we knew it. “HAPPY RAILS”

Aggro, Your right! The Santa Fe could never live up to the high standards of the ATSF! We need polls like this one to help us make decisions about the important questions in our lives! Thanks for all your input!
