Good question, I'll go with GTW's commuter service. Detroit wastes money on the People Mover and Trolley Line when they should invest in reestablishing commuter service between Pontiac and Detroit.

I've never been a caboose guy so I'm going to buy an amfleet and put an observation platform on the back

I'll take my chances with Amtrak. I speak for AARR as well being that I know how he will answer these 99% of the time :lol:

A steam engine for sure. It may seem strange but I'd love to watch a 2-8-2 working in its heyday 8) .

If we can refer to diesels that have been retired, I’d say SD80MAC’s, if not, then the NS Jersey Central Heritage Unit.

I have to admit both of you gentlemen surprised me with your previous answers.
I figured David for Steam and Don for Diesel and I was just bragging about knowing how AARR would answer these questions :oops:


I'll go with a heritage unit although not sure which off the top of my head and I will stick with your question David:

The Hur-a-tage unit of my chose. I do not have any nostalgia for SD80MAC's.

Would you rather GTW come back and operate its original lines or or Pere Marquette?

Coming from AARR both would be irrelevant :lol:

If you owned a short line railroad like Michigan Shore would you rather own GP38-2's or GP40-2's?

38-2's. No turbo chargers so cheaper to maintain with same pulling power.

Would you rather go to a small privately owned zoo or a large city-owned one?
