What is your favorite railroad that is in operation right now.
Favorite Class 1, Commuter or anything at all.
Mine are Norfolk Southern and MARC.
Reading & Northen, one the only “good” railroad left in the northeastern in my opinion.
Portland and Western.[:)]

The Indiana Rail Road (yes, railroad should be two words)
BNSF and grand trunk and western
NS!!! I dont know, something about a relatively clean black SD70 with a white eyebrow racing down the line at road speed. That, and the occasional CR! Yeah!

Norfolk Southern. Those black and white locomotives have really grown on me in the last year or so.
Vermont Railway System
LC
Norfolk Southern
Union Pacific and if it was still around, Wisconsin Central. They will always be number one. But for running railroads, I do stick with the UP.
NYSW!!![:p][:p][:p][:p][:p][:p][:p][:p][:p]
why??? why!!! no conrail [xx(]
CSX and Guilford.
AMTRAK, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Union Pacific. ( I felt like typing it out)
The CB&Q, Milwaukee Road, Wbash, and Rock Island will always be my favorites, but since only today’s roads can be chosen I’ll say BNSF, Wisconsin & Southern, Kansas City Southern and Iowa Interstate. Basically any Midwestern regional, plus the two class ones I stated.
BNSF,NS, and “The Bloomer Line” (Central Illinois)
NS and Wheeling and Lake Erie (OMG I picked a regional!)
BNSF and NS are my favorite railroads so far in the year 2004.
Always has and always will be Elgin, Joliet & Eastern… Big road flare, with small road personality. It’s can’t be beat.

I am a CMSt.P& P fan…but since it’s a modern survey…I’ll go BNSF. For the sole reason that they put ballast down and kept up a line to spite the great metropolitan planners who have marked it to become a busway. The same group apparently doesn’t realize this branch line runs along one of MN’s most congested highways…is along a booming group of suburbs…this screams for commuter rail but they’re in denial. GO BNSF!
CN, R&N, BRW, BVR
