My favorite is Burlington Northern because I grew up with Burlington Norhtern in Chicago along their 3 track mainline to Aurora

Western Pacific gobbled up by the UP In the early 80’s
the feather river route
I think it best for your poll to either name all of the major railroads of the past or keep to the currently existing list. As far as Texas is concerned, from the past there is no Cotton Belt, no Texas & Pacific, no Missouri, Kansas, and Texas, no Missouri Pacific, no Rock Island, no Denver and Fort Worth, and no Frisco on your list… Only Southern Pacific and Santa Fe…
Canadian Pacific is my favourite.

The long-gone Rock Island is my favorite.
Sorry I should have added more TEXAS ROADS
HELLO THERE “DOGGY”! GREAT POLL! HOWEVER, IF YOU GREW UP IN CHICAGO YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT THE CHICAGO & NORTH WESTERN!
talbanese, you are R-I-G-H-T! [tup]
I voted for CP rail, but am also a big fan of BC Rail (not on list)
For “modern” Class 1 I voted for (what’s left of) Conrail.
For all time favorite Class 1, I vote for the PRR.
Rules what???
THE POLL WAS GREAT BUT AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONEDYOU FORGOT THE GREAT AND LATE PENNSY.HOW CAN ONE EVERFORGET IT.
I voted for the Illinois Central of memory (as opposed to the CN of reality).
How could you leave the PRR out of the poll?? Well that is my vote…
My most favorite is Norfolk Southern. In my opinion they have the best looking paint scheme. I also really like Canadian National too. They have a nice paint scheme too.
Black & white?!
