Nostalgia & History > Three railroads you'd like to have back intact...Date: 09/19/14 08:27 Three railroads you'd like to have back intact... Author: pilotblue Good Morning All,
There is no wrong answer here. These are my three: Milwaukee Road, Western Maryland, Virginian, beautiful scenery, interesting equipment, friendly employees.

At one time, the biggest, baddest, MOST friendly (IMHO), coolest RR EVER. Great Rolling Stock, Great Motive Power....Hell, even the PRRT&HS is OUTSTANDING!!

I'm great if we could add to that NP, GN, WP, NYC, PENSY, CNW, IC ... etc. etc. What ever happened to the Sherman Anti-trust Act anyway? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/19/14 08:55 by warrenpweiss.

Denver & Rio Grande Western Rio Grande Southern Jason Rose Spring, TX Rio Grande Explorations Date: 09/19/14 09:10 Re: Three railroads you'd like to have back intact... Author: ntharalson Well, time to flame away. Definitely NOT the PRR! Over built and
poorly managed. Was in decline after 1925 and no one knew it until the Penn Central. Also, not the Milwaukee, because there were better roads out there. And NOT that piece of junk called the Rock Island. After Nels Farrington left, it wasn't a mighty fine line! First: Great Northern. Great paint scheme (orange) and well managed. Second: Santa Fe. Iconic trains and paint. Third: Nickle Plate. If you could survive against the NYC and PRR, you were pretty good. Not to mention their awesome steam. Have a flaming blast.

Western Maryland Lehigh & Hudson River I like others but didn't count roads whose tracks still exist but names changed due to mergers/consolidation. Date: 09/19/14 10:04 Re: Three railroads you'd like to have back intact... Author: junctiontower EL, Monon, NKP. Honorable mention, EJ&E, DMIR.
