My own road might well generate some interchange traffic with the old AM, so I'm glad to know that there is a reference and historical source such as this. I like to include examples of well-known model railroads on my own, it feels almost like we're all modeling the same fictional world in which all of our model empires were real. It is affirming, and I don't think it detracts from the realism at all. In fact, my short line is loosely based on two modern short lines, the South Branch Valley (Route of the Potomac Eagle!) and the Winchester Western (the original Winchester version, not the NJ franchise). I run cars lettered for each of these roads on my own, even though they wouldn't actually exist if my own WP&P is a replacement for them! I get away with it because, in a way, I'm the only one who really knows the truth from the fiction... <br /> <br />...Except, DRAT! I just told you.
