LItte: You certainly have some heavy duty steam power. I wonder if the 'camelbacks' are apt for the period? I ask because i don't really know when they were phased out. You could make a case for them as 'legacy engines'. You have put considerable thought into the motive power but do not mention the likely freight car mix. I assume you will be using gondolas for the gravel and perhaps flats if the paper is in newsprint rolls, apples shipped in reefters and some of the paper products in box cars. Have you considered including an apple processing plant which would give you some inbound glassware and cans and perhaps outbound bulk juice concentrate in tanks? You could justify a 'private label' set of dedicated tanks and reefers in your own livery. I'd love to see a Prairie winding up over your viaduct with a string of fast freight reefers in tow. Just my thoughts, let me know if you find them helpful. Randy
