When I got into this hobby about three years ago, I at first looked at the Rock Island, Union Pacific, New York Central and other more famous lines. Than I found the CB&Q-what a perfect road, with everything a fan of Granger Lines could want! Since then I have been thinking of modeling a portion of some other road like the Wabash, Rock Island, NKP, GM&O, and others, but that's when I realized other than the CB&Q and GM&O I knew little about these other lines, however I did know about the modern class 1's, so I began thinking of modeling a Modern-Day CB&Q--showing the Q as if it never had even thought of merging into BN. I've had doubts of modeling this over the transition era, but I've always wanted and enjoyed model railroads that have something that makes them unique and interesting. Of course doing this would mean almost having to model 3 or 4 fallen flags in modern times; being that the Santa Fe, NP, and GN would still be around, but once I get the idea of what can be done with a modern CB&Q, I might, just might model it!!
