No surprise I would say mine is the road I worked with, Quanah, Acme & Pacific Rwy. The shortline that never reached its charter goals, worked the ICC environment to its advantage, hosted some of the country's more famous fast freights, became a crown jewel of the Frisco, hosted all the stockholder brass on motorcar quail hunts (right up to the days we were hauling it away).
This railroad's complete story is well documented and shows a strong similarity to dozens of other shortline roads in America. Reading the QA&P story serves as a recap of how and why America experienced a railroad building "mania" during the early 20th century.
The handsome depot and headquarters has been restored to serve as a museum.
