<br />I created a partially fictional short line: the California Southern, a part of the Southern Pacific system in the Harriman period. I haven't worked out the details of the backstory yet. The time period is 1900-1915 in Southern California. <br /> <br />The line's bread an butter is: citrus produce, on the hoof beef, raw and refined petroleum products and borax...all historically accurate...and exurban passengers connecting with San DIego. <br /> <br />For rolling stock and motive power the road has castoffs from SP, UP, TP and the Southern Pacific de Mexico as well as some shop-built ( to my designs) light rail combines. <br /> <br />The line's livery is railroad roman in, (what else ;) ) avocado green and sunset orange. <br /> <br />Anyone who cares to comment feel free, I welcome ideas and criticism. <br /> <br />Randy <br /> <br />
