HMM, I find I like high intensity Mountain Railraod action with lots of flashy colors. Lets look at our options. D&RGW? No Flashy color was only on the F Units. NP? No Flashy color was reserved for passenger trains. CB&Q? They had a network of branch lines in the black hills that still hold my interest. but its not high intensity. BN? See CB&Q Union Pacific? No they pissed me off royaly. SP? Like NP the flashy colors were reserved for passenger trains. Southern? I said flashy colors didn't I? N&W? They had cool steam, but again I said flashy colors. B&O. This line holds promise. It had the mountains and had the flashy colors. But I am looking for action close to home. C&O? Dip job blue. No thank you. Milwuakee Road? You can't miss that orange even if you tried. But their mountain sections have to many quirks for me. That leaves GN. Had a flashy steam locomotive paint sheme. (The so called "Glacier Park" scheme.) and two flashy diesel paint schemes. Orange and Green, and Blue and White. And Crossed four major mountain ranges. With all the criteria listed above that I used as considerations. You can see how I arrived at GN. James
