As for that question, I have four classes: the LNER A4 Pacifics, the GWR Castle Ten Wheelers, the Union Pacific Heavy Challengers and, again from the Union Pacific, the Big Boys.
My Hometown Railroad was the Maryland & Pennsylvania that served Baltimore, MD & York, PA. Where I live now is Bel Air and I am within Driving Distance of the Forest Hill station which is still around being used as a Model Train shop.
All have interesting histories!
My answer to the question for most interesting history would be anything that was owned by the Sierra Railway.
I had four railroads in my town. The Michigan Central and The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern ran parallel through my town. Their lines are now owned by Norfolk Southern. The DT&I and Detroit and Toledo Short Line, now owned by Canadian National, crossed over these lines. The diamond was unique, as the DT&I and D&TSL crossed right in the middle of the NS lines. No wonder I hear many horns all day! 🙂
