Rusty, I see quite a bit of CB&Q in your pics. I take it that's one of your favorite roads? Owing to it's KC location and some of my memories thereof, it has become a significant road to me, too.

Hey, Andre.
Yep, the Q is one of my favorites. When I was 10, my family moved to the Chicago western suburbs (Deep in the Land of the Burlingtons, Berwyn, to be exact) and we lived a block and a half away from the Burlington.
We were also a half block away from the IC's Davenport line but train frequency was nowhere near what the Burlington's was.
Plus, I could catch occasional glimses of 4960 and 5632 on the Q.
But, I would say my first love will always be the Santa Fe. Partially because of my Lionel roots, but also for a trip we took with my dad to an American Legion convention in Calfornia when I was about 5. The train was an extra, just for the legionairs.
