I am actually still undecided as to which way to go. :D

Major Line: CN

Others on my mind: Iowa Northern, Wisconsin Central, Wisconsin Southern

:confused:
 
As you can tell from my Avatar, my favorite railroad is in the 'other' category, LOL! However, you did mention Southern Pacific, which is my SECOND favorite railroad (and one I also model), so I was able to fit in somewhere. Of course, I also have 'borrowed' power from Colorado & Southern, Chesapeake & Ohio, Pennsy and Great Northern, so I suppose you could say that almost everything I model is in the 'Other' category. But hey, that's what makes this such a fun hobby, right?

Grew up around the BNSF, so I'd have to say I'd model it. That or my fictional railroad, Maple Pacific Coast.
 
TH&B with CN rolling stock. ( which I guess is a bit odd because CP absorbed the TH&B) I do mostly freelanced with a small amount of prototype accents I guess we could call it.:confused:

I also have soft spot for Norfolk Southern there is just something about that prancing horse that trips my trigger:D
 


Freelanced plus

Freelanced shortline that connects to CSX's Water Level Route.

My local transit authority (quasi-governmental) owns the track and runs the commuter trains. They host the freight trains (how's that for a nice exchange of roles?).

We also have run-through Amtrak (Empire Corridor) and CSX intermodal trains.

There's also an online rail museum that operates NYC 6008 and some stainless NYC cars.
