OK, folks, its been awhile since i have seen one of these threads, and i think it would be neat to see just what Roads you folks pick:thumb: .

You can post just YOUR FAVORITE ROAD, or you can post ALL the roads you like/have interest in.

I don't care if its one of the current Class 1 roads, a Fallen Flag, or regional/short lines, IT DOESN'T MATTER:winki: , i am just curious what roads will end up on here.

THE ONLY THING I ASK, PLEASE PUT YOUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ROAD FIRST:twisted: , after that, it doesn't have to be in any particular order.

*******************************************************
OK, I'll use my list as an example, STARTING WITH MY FAVORITE ROAD:

UNION PACIFIC (like it would be anything else:119: )
CNW
The Milwaukee Road
Rio Grande
Illinois Terminal
GBW
WSOR
IC&E
Metra(Harvard line)

EDIT: I guess I'm going for all of them.

Conrail (especially early years, also last years)
PRR (transition years)
CN (70s-80s eastern, specifically including Newfoundland)

Next few are hard to sort:
Santa Fe (70s, also Super Fleet years)
BN (70s)
UP (transition years to early 80s)
SP (transition years, also 70s)
CP (multimark years)

Also (again, order uncertain):
EFVM (Estrada de Ferro Vitoria a Minas; Brazil - modern)
FEPASA (Ferrovias Paulistas S.A.; Brazil - 80s-90s)
Iron ore railways of the Pilbara (Australia)
DRGW (narrow gauge)
NYC (transition years)
PC
DR (East Germany; Era IV - 70s-80s)
DB (West Germany; early Era IV - end of steam)
NJT (80s)

Some more at the end (more recent interests, mainly):
MRS Logistica (Brazil)
SAR (South Africa)
BC Rail (80s)
Milwaukee (early 70s, mainly)
NYSW (80s)
D&H (70s)
NdeM
Ontario Northland
D-L/GVT

Formerly would've placed higher:
WC
L&N (60s)
WP (70s)
Erie (steam era)

I like a lot of railroads. :D

EDIT: I realized what's distinctly lacking - any current North American Class 1s.
