Likely this topic has been addressed ad nauseam, but I thought I would bring it back up in here to get fresher opinions about whether or not you like to run freight, passenger or both.
I have one passenger set on my current layout. It is an F59 Surf Liner set with just three Super Liner cars. The rest on my layout is all about modern freight. Intermodals, Auto Racks, Tankers etc. I like modern railroading personally, but totally appreciate the fine and beautiful job many of you in here do with steam and earlier diesels and electrics. I really enjoy the many pictures you all post showing off those beautiful layouts as well.
Anyway, I just wanted to get a sense of what people prefer. I am not a wagering man, but I would surmise based upon what I have seen and read thus far, that many in here are into both freight and passenger as this best represents railroading as we all know of it. I talked to one fellow at the store about this topic and he said he used to run only passenger and he was burned out from it. He went over to freight and never looked back. LOL
Thanks, Pete
