#1 CNJ - I grew up on the NY&LB and rode the CNJ to Newark in 1975 prior to Conrail. My grandfather on my mother's side of the family commuted on the CNJ in the 50's and 60's. I also like how long they kept archaic equipment on the roster.

#2 PRR - See above for the most part. The GG1 is my all time favorite locomotive as many on this forum know. I also love PRR steam and the Belpaire firebox look. My grandfather on my dad's side took my dad and my two uncles to the Horseshoe curve on many occasions to watch steam during the 50's.

#3 Amtrak - I have ridden lots of Amtrak from the mid 70's to present. My favorite period is between 1980 and 1989. A lot of change during that time.

#4 New Jersey Transit - Saw lots of change from the dock of my house as a child during the transition from Conrail / NJDOT to a modern railroad from the late 70's until I left NJ in 1987.

#5 ATSF - Just a well managed railroad that I took a liking to in the last 5 years as I live in the west now.
