CSX I voted agian for, I just love their Gray and Blue Piant Scheme. BNSF for my secound choice, all their engines are in great piant schemes. And they all the BNSF engines I have seen look like they have a brand new coat of paint! :)

To add the UP, click EDIT on your first post and go in an add it. Its ok to do it this late. If someone wanted to vote UP, they can if they didnt vote for something else already. but add it.

Hey, thanks railroadfan. And patrick, I did go and try to edit it, but there was no way for me to do so, only edit the post text, no option to edit the poll itself.

Thank you both for your help :D :D

Agree with you there BNSF 1088, I have heard some bad things from UP employees about the Utterly Pathetic. But, figured I better post it for those who like it!

BNSF Railway, the BEST of the BEST! :D :D :D

Have nothing wrong with Canadians, Just the Canadian Railways, They just buy all the GOOD American Companies like the Wisconsin Central :evil: :evil: :evil:. CN is the most strict RR I have ever seen, and Some of us Americans miss the Wisconsin Central. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: .
I loved that Railroad. But it is gone forever. :( So BNSF, give CN a taste of their own Medicine AND BUY THEM! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: .

I think we need to reset the poll and have people vote AGAIn..... this time lets think more about the railroad itself and the way they run it and a bit less on petty stuff like what friggen color they paint their locos.

I voted BNSF, but for me it's kind of a toss-up between BNSF and NS. Not that I'm a big fan of painting your locomotives black or having your HQ south of the Mason-Dixon line. But the way that the two companies seem to be run says more about who the best RR really is, than does the fact that CSX has a really cool blue and yellow paint scheme. Now if the question were what's your favorite paint scheme, I'd probably have to vote CSX. But since some of my favorites have been bought out (and some weren't included on the list, RA for one) I'm a bit more enthusiastic about the ones that can run a railroad than I am on the ones that try to screw people way more than they should (think licensing fees and customer service).
