Which railroad is predomimately disliked?

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

Which railroad is predomimately disliked?

Post by NathanFromEngland » Thu Sep 06, 2018 4:57 pm

I know a lot of railfans have that certain rail company that they just don't like a certain railroad, but the real question is that which railroad gets a lot of dislike and negative feedback?

UP, BNSF, NS, probably get away with being disliked at all, most likely because of them having heritage units and all that stuff.

CSX is probably the one that is barely liked, most likely due to them retiring their aging fleet, and most importantly, Mr Harrison.

CSX, though I can't say I've seen much love for BNSF either.
They/Them for me, please.

I'm not sure, but my guess would be because of Warren Buffet.

At the very least, they could've broken the train up so it didn't block any crossings... :Roll:

The real question is why didn't they just break the train up at the road crossings, so when the new crew arrived, they could recouple, and be out of there within a jiffy?

My guess? They don't care and it doesn't directly affect them.
