Reply to "Your Favorite Railroads and..... Why"

Growing up in central New York, you would think I would favor the NYC, or maybe even Penn Central or Conrail. Nope. Living for 10 years in central Pennsylvania and visiting Horseshoe Curve many, many, many times, one might think I might have been moved by the history of the Pennsylvania RR. Nope. Just one look in my train room and it is very easy to see that "my" favorite railroad is the Union Pacific. Engine wise, the bigger the better. All those big steamers (FEFs, 4-12-2), or articulated steamers (Challengers and Big Boys), then all the experimentation with diesels (U50C, Veranda, Coal Turbine, Gas Turbine, DD40AX) just shouts "awesome power" at me. Yes I have other models (and articulated) on my layout, but the majority of the room is yellow-based.
