For over 6 decades I have pondered "which railroad do I love the best." Growing up in the deep South, South Jersey that is, we did not have but on line. Oddly I do not even think of that line. Just a small town freight with a couple cars. So which railroad do I like? I guess any of them. The real thing to this day still makes me sit up straight and I get all giddy just watching them. Still feel the same as when I was a small toddler. UP holds a special place in my heart though because I loved the war bonnet ( one of my first sets ) and because they do so much to keep the history alive. Norfolk Southern for the same reason although they have since stopped their steam heritage but still continue painting heritage diesels. I just had a couple stents put in (unexpected as it was due to a knee replacement last August with the stress test showing what everyone thought was a false positive) and when on the operating table for the heart catherization last week and the doctor came to my head and said we have a problem. I honestly expected him to tell me that I did not have blood but trains flowing through my body. I just LOVE trains.
