Er … how many of us ship by rail ???

I would vote for the Iowa Interstate or the IC&E, as they serve the Quad Cities - if I shipped by rail !!!

This has got to be a really stupid poll! Individuals rarely ship by rail, and 9 of the rail systems listed do not even exist any more.

Why would I care about shipments by rail anyway? This is my hobby and not my job.

5

C’mon folks, just go with it. It is all in fun. We got to be cool with the younger members.

Well George,the shipping manager at the warehouse where I use to work preferred to use a short line or regional(he had past experience with a regional) over any major carrier however,he uses NS Triple Crown services.

Ditto.[:)]

All I ever ship is/are contracts that need to be in someone else’s office the next day so I use either FedEx or UPS. This poll does not really make sense.

Rio Grande of coarse. They had an awesome paint scheme and you still see thier units on the Wheeling and Lake Erie near where i live in Ohio.

WEZZ,
You have access to the Internet. Use it for your research tool. All of the active ‘Class 1’ rail systems have web sites and the NMRA ‘links’ page or maybe even Trains.Com has listing.

I had to get one in for the Santa Fe. I know that I am not the only Santa Fe fan out there. Where’s the love. Thanks for backin’ me grande man.

18

You’re not the only ATSF fan, I am too! It’s just that the Grande comes first with me…[:D]
The love is there though, my Joint Line modeling proves it.[:D]
