Well, it says I'm the Lionel Christmas Train.... Not certain about the text that followed. But.... Boxcab E50
Says in this here quiz I'm the Empire Builder. "An admirer of Lewis & Clark, you have a firm belief in Manifest Destiny. Your destiny has manifested itself in a northern and at times desolate existence, but you don't mind life on the mountainside with snow and goats. Though your glory days are well past you, many still come to visit you to talk about the old times and get a taste for what you were like back in your prime." How did it know I'm middle-aged?? And my glory days ain't all gone just yet.......
Mine says I'm the American Orient Express. I'd rather be what Pat got, my old RR.!! And welcome to Trainboard, Eire. Are you from Eire??
Somehow the logic of this quiz escapes me. It concluded that I'm the Underground Railroad. This is not the NYC Subway, the London Tube, or even the Paris Metro, but the pre-Civil War assisted pathway for slaves fleeing their plantations in search of their freedom. I'm sure that this conclusion was based on my "Yes" answer to the question of whether I would prefer to be north of where I am. Well, DUH!!! I just survived the wrath of Hurricane Katrina. You're darn tootin' that at this time I absolutely would prefer to be well north of the Gulf Coast! At least until after November 30th and the end of hurricane season.... After 11/30, I'll be happy to negotiate....
It concluded I'm the rock/alternative group Train. Wish I still had all that hair. Still I do like some of their stuff.
It says I am the "Virginia and Truckee Railroad"! Though you don't have much to be angry about, you really like to blow off steam. People think that you come from simple, even common heritage, citing your history with mountainous miners, but you know that you have some royal blood in you. This doesn't keep you from having a bit of interest in the wild west as well, however, and you enjoy a good poker game as much as the next. If you were a lode, it would be the Comstock. I doubt the part about "Royal Blood" but the balance has some similarities.
Well here are my results: I am "The Transcontinental Railroad". "A true uniter and not a divider, you have achieved some great things for those around you. Yet by bringing so many people together, you've had to step on the toes of those even older and wiser than yourself. Still, you're regarded as something of a hero, perhaps even on a national level. Most of what you've done is the result of pure hard labor. Though you have a hard time admitting it, much of your success is also thanks to contributions from China."
You're the Durango & Silverton! With an admittedly narrow view of the world, you prefer mountain-climbing to extended trips around the globe. A truly outdoorsy type, you like whitewater rafting, hiking, and generally getting deep into the remote wilderness. At the same time, you sometimes have trouble with smoking and wind up making those around you cough and sputter from time to time. You resent being mistaken for a Dodge SUV.
You're the Baltimore & Ohio! Perceived by most as a classic and perhaps even timeless person, you always command the respect of those around you. You wind up being slower than most, but you really aren't concerned with keeping up with the speed of today's modern times. Older and wiser than average, you still somehow haven't seen very much of the world. All of your offenses are capital. Good thing I model Chessie System...hehehe Thats neat.
Neat! Another person who appreciates those classic toy trains. The Lionel part is great! And I have indeed had many in my past life, running around a Christmas tree. Snow, I don't mind at all. But the pine needle thing still has me Boxcab E50
Coast Starlight! Hmmm... Seems to me they're neglecting the Midwestern RRs and their trains! Shure wish they had MoP or the Eagle on this quiz!
