Illinois Central 1950-1960. A large variety of equipment, at least 5 different types of caboose, road specific steam built and rebuilt in shops in Centralia, IL and Paducah, KY. Don't know why it's not more popular, maybe because you can't build mountains to run it through?

Right now I'm wishing for a May Pole and not the North Pole. But I'll take the old New York Central !!

I voted Southern. Its my favorite prototype, but to cover engines I like that the SRR never had, I protolance a local area shortline.
 
UP is my first choice because they still run steam on their main lines.

Second is The Alton Railroad, specifically the Alton Limited since "Alton" is my real name.
