All but 1 are PRR.

Funny you should ask, but before I counted, I would have bet Pennsylvania, but in engines, it is Union Pacific followed by Pennsylvania and then falls off to 1 or 2 units of a particular railroad.
However... did I end up with the road names because I liked them or was it because it was all that was offered? While I like all railroad history, my real interest is Illinois Central, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Wabash, Chicago & Northwestern and Santa Fe. With the exception of Santa Fe, not much has been made in the other road names compared to the big five or six.

New York Central - Primary 8 steam / 8 diesels / 1 electric
Canadian Pacific - 2 engines run as a pair
Pere Marquette - 1 steam engine
Ahhhhh let me think!
1) New York Central
2) Pennsylvania RR
3) Santa Fe
4) a fairly large collection of other roads, heavily weighted toward the East Coast
5) a smattering of Canadian engines (CP & CN)

For me, it can be broken down into 4 different categories:
1) New York Central (mostly Hudsons)
2) Lionel Lines
3) Pennsylvania
4) Other Midwestern railroads- Nickel Plate, Wabash, Monon
SP, SF, UP, MP, T&P, Penn, RI and D&RG (O-Gauge), most of my trains are still packed, these are the one's I can think of.
Narrow gauge would be, D&RGW, RGS, SP and SPC all (SN3), EP&SW, EP&RGW, SP (On30), RGS in Fn3 (1:20.3)
HO is SP, SF and UP

Hey Ben I thought you had a soft spot for CNJ?

I didn't count, but scrolling through here, I see UP, AT&SF, PRR and NYC mentioned a lot. Little wonder then how the train companies seem to offer those roads names frequently.
On my own 027 scale layout, it's (and nearly all repaints):
1) Lehigh Valley 2) Conrail 3) Norfolk Southern 4) CSX 5) Penn Central
Then with other northeast lines like RDG, CNJ, EL, PRR, NYC, and NH all represented.
