Favorite road if the cast were railfans.

I don’t think AJ would be a very big fan of the L&N, considering they were never exactly known for their honesty. In terms of southern roads, I’d suggest the good ol’ Dixie Line, or perhaps even the mighty Southern. But, outside of the south, I think AJ might like either the MoPac or the Western Pacific. She would probably sympathize with their financial positions, and admire their fighting spirit.

Yeah I think in this case Santa Fe would be a better fit for Dash, pretty much because of what BP C40C said. “Route of the Rockets” is tempting, but I think Pikie would like them better. The Rock had a crazy mix of locomotives. I believe they rostered at least one of every single model, including such oddities as the C415, the DT-6-6-2000, the Aerotrain, and their home-grown AB6. I think Pinkie would like the unpredictability of the Rock a little better than “Pennsy of the West.”
Luna/B&O: Route of the “Royal Blue” of course.
Fluttershy/Ma&Pa: Quite backwoods little shortline that was out of the way.
Luna/Baltimore & Ohio: This one confuses me a bit. Is it just because the B&O was old, the first common carrier in America?
Twilight/The Pennsylvania Railroad: “The Standard Railroad of the World” and a student who loves everything standardized, tabulated, and organized? Well played!
Rarity/New York Central: Class and sophistication? Yes. Speed and power? Maybe that last part would have worked better with Dash. I would have made Rarity the Norfolk & Western… sophistication combined with a lust for precious things from the ground.;)
Applejack/Virginia & Truckee: I see what you were aiming for, a western railroad that doesn’t get much attention. Ha!
Dash/Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific: “Route of the Rockets”… yeah. Also, bankrupt and dismembered, and the first to die of all the big railroads. I would have said New York Central here, for speed and power, but you’re right, the “Route of the Rockets” was too hard to pass up.
Fluttershy/Maryland & Pennsylvania:Huh, ya got me on this one. What does Fluttershy have in common with a long-dead shortline?
Pinkie/Milwaukee Road: Heh, is it because the MILW had electric locomotives, making them “full of energy” and a crazy path up mountainsides that only made sense if you looked at them from a freight ton/mileage point of view?
All in all, something quite worth pondering! Good job! :)
I also would see Santa Fe as a better fit for RD- all those fast trains with amazing looks.
