Lehigh Valley and Central RR of New Jersey
Dougal, you sure get around!
your in this forum, that forum, every forum!
I would have to say New York Central, I loved their posters, which i have some on my wall.
Growing up in Buffalo and my Dad working for the NYC, made me to this day an NYC fan. However, my grandfather was a loco engineer for the LV, the DL&W was at the end of the street and the Erie was 2 blocks away.
So, i follow posts on various sites for NYC and collectively what are called the “Anthracite Roads”.

Southern Pacific. I grew up in Reno in the 40’s and 50’s, lived 1 1/2 blocks from the main line, remember cab forwards galore. Also remember the first “Black Widow” diesel that came through town, never thought it spelled the end of my favorite locomotive, the cab forward. Sad ending to a great railroad when the name died.
Growing up in Bath,Maine. I’ll go with the Maine Central, since I can remember the Harvest Gold and Pine Green GP-38’s and U25B’s crawling through town(15 mph speed limit) as a young, impressionable lad![:D]
That cool. Mine is the Southern Pacific also. I spent alot of time passing back and forth the Roseville yard.
The Southern as it is linked to childhood memories. I also like the N&W. Quite and innovative pair!
Western Maryland Railway, Delaware Lackawanna and Western, Lehigh Valley, Central R.R. Company of New Jersey. I like them all and in no particular order.
Even though by the time I was born, BN was 19 yrs. old, I wish I could have seen all of the Hill Lines, the Pennsy and the Wabash in operation, not to mention the GM&O.

My Favoirtes are the CB&Q, Great Northern and the Milwaukee Road
I don’t relly consider the Santa Fe a “Fallen Flag” yet. The corporate image still exists, and any time I can see a Scarlet & Silver Warbonnet pull through, I still think of it as being around.
I always enjoyed the daylight travel through the rockies and vicinity. What I miss is Great Northern’s WESTERN STAR. It moved in a daylight schedule through my neck of the woods.
If you want to give a 9-year old boy an ego trip: tell him you are going to stop the streamliner just for him!!!

The Delaware Lackawanna RR. The “Lackawanna Cutoff” which was built in the early 1900’s was shut down by Conrail in the 60’s. Now they are trying to revitalize that line for commuter and freight between Scranton Pa and New York City. I have walked parts of the Cutoff and it is amazing how they built this line. Look up the Pequest Fill for a story that will amaze you.
