In no particular order:
SP's Overland Route -- at night in the Nevada desert with the SP 2472 on the point
SP's Coast Line -- in the late 1930s and early 1940s, when the Coast Daylight was in its heyday
All of SP's branch lines -- but the way they were in the 1950s and 1960s
SP's Modoc Line -- when the cab-forwards ran there
SP's Siskiyou Line -- when there were a lot of trains there
SP's SF Peninsula Line -- with Trainmasters
NYC's 20th Century -- in the glory days
PRR's Broadway Limited -- also in the glory days
The SN -- all the way to Chico
The Milwaukee Road, especially at Rondout, IL,
where they supposedly ran +120 mph in the late steam era
with those 84-inch-drivered Hudsons
Santa Fe's Super Chief and El Capitan in the glory days
SP's Oakland Mole -- in its heyday, complete with lots of ferryboats
I am plenty old enough to have seen most of these things in their
heyday, but I was not a railfan back then, but I am much too young
to have seen the SP 2472 on the Overland Limited.
