I like a bunch of the names but the one I think of most is the S.S & S. The Surry, Sussex and Southampton, a narrow gauge Va. logging road that ran from a port on the James River south and east through the swamps. Its nickname was the "Sick, Sad and Sorry". My son lived in the area(so did Michael Vick) and we explored some of the right away and locations. there is a station or two still around and a box car was restored. I have a book written about the road. One of the engines survives on a tourist RR.
Western Pacific
From Oakland, as a little one.
From Pleasanton, in high school.
From Chico, (close to Oroville) college and working.
From Lake Almanor, (the high line, now BNSF) in retirement.

My faves:
Santa Fe for sure!
Followed by NYC, N&W and LIRR and UP
Uintah Railway is my favorite.
NC&StL and L&N are my favorite standard gauge railroads (railways)
I model L&N in O-gauge and wish I could find some NC&StL motive power.

Santa Fe

Defiantly the Pennsy.
There is just something about a Pennsy steam engine that is appealing to me.
Maybe it's that Belpair Fire Box or that high mounted headlight or Keystone number plate on their passenger and mixed freight engines or that unforgettable Banshee whistle.
Whatever item listed above the Pennsy is my favroite.
Merry Christmas everyone from the Strittmatters

Pretty much any railroad I can remember seeing as a kid in the 80s and early 90s. The Chessie system, Family lines, SCL. But I've always thought hands down the Southern railway had the best looking locomotives. My favorite engine on the rails today is NS's heritage Southern 8099 es44ac. Thats just my opinion, and you know what they say about them. Merry Christmas!
Milwaukee Road
Northern Pacific
Great Northern
Montana Rail Link
Burlington Northern
Wisconsin Central
Soo Line

And I'll throw Santa Fe, Nickel Plate and Southern Pacific on there as well.
Well, I did not add them up, but it appears that Santa Fe looks to be the most popular name.
Thank you to everyone that replied.
