My favorite railroads for Seattle Rules Railbaron in the order that I
like to purchase them are:

1 PA
2 Milw
3 RF&P
4 SAL
5 ATSF
6 SLSF
7 WP
8 NYNHH
9 B&M
10 N&W

Most of these are fairly obvious, however, not all are so obvious.  No. 3
the RF&P gives access for the least amount of money to either the SAL or
the ACL without having to buy something expensive.  And yes, I would like
to purchase the L&N, but it usually goes before I get a chance to get it.
(Due to my having higher priorities.)  If I can get these 10, I will then
go after my Superchief, and then collect $$.  (Or if the opportunity 
presents itself, I will purchase the Superchief after No. 5 is purchased.)

Of course part of my rational is that I like to collect all of the electric
railroads (not counting the GN tunnel electricification) and I also like
the railroads that are exclusive.  I.e. SAL for Miami, B&M for Boston,N&W
for Norfolk, etc.
