| | | Canadian National, or Canadian Pacific? < on 2/26/2006 11:48 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | When I was a kid I grew up with a Lionel Train set. My dad and I were avid collectors, and I've still got the whole lot of engines and rolling stock and track... just nowhere to build a layout. Anyways, I don't remember how... maybe because it was the railroad that ran through my town... but I always liked CP more than CN, and I imagined all kinds of rivalry and hatred between them. My dad was into CN, but I preferred the bright red and white... so clean and patriotic. So, my question to the Canucks out there (and any others that feel strongly about it) is - do you have any favouritism for either one of the two major railroads in Canada? If so, which one?

| | | I have to say I am a CN Guy myself. Never lived near CP lines, and when I did try to watch CP trains, I was not greeted nicely. I lived beside CN lines all my life, and I suppose I just got used to seeing their trains. That being said, I do not hate CP. I think in a way, both compliment each other, and in turn make Canada great That being said, the article from National Geographic entitled Canada's Highway of Steel features CP Rail, and is my favorite National Geographic article of all time. http://www.roadwolf.ca/blog/?p=197 (my reproduction of the national geographic article, for your enjoyment)
