Mostly locality. I model a proto-freelance version of the short line that was the only railroad in the immediate vicinity of where I grew up. I say "proto-freelance" because this line (the Washington & Old Dominion) swtiched from steam - to electric - to diesel. Since my interest is steam, I choose to imagine that the switch to electric never occurred and operate realistic small steam (the line actually did have two small consolidations for some years). <br /> <br />I also have sessions in which all the motive power is from one of my two favorite Class I roads (N&W and Western Maryland). The N&W is very believable: the W&OD line was very nearly purchased (when owned by a predecessor company) by the predecessor company of the N&W. The WM is more of a stretch but the Gould interests did consider an extension to the Washington market.
