I'm running 6 regional carriers most of which are now fallen flags that still live in my basement, Most of which have online interchange with my own Fictious AC&E RR <br />The others are B&M, MEC, D&H, CP and BAR . The RR is large, double decked, and divided into four main areas of service. B&M is predominant in one area with a smattering of MEC and my road doing a few jobs. MEC is the central player in another with the BAR & my road handling some of the work. Bar is predominant in another section with MEC making up a few consists. The road primarily handles wood products from the great Maine woods and ships them south and to the online industries (3 Paper Mills) Thie empties return North on other scheduled trains. The CP & D&H are merely interchanged and used as turns in two of the major yards. <br />My own AC&E RR has it's own yard and services a seaport and 16 industries (requires 9 units to handle the work). There is also a lot of run-thru traffic from one staging to another some 500 feet away. <br />All in all I'd say the answer to this question is whatever is plauseable and you have the space, ability & time to portrey in a reasonably realistic fashion is what works. Operations sessions (8+ Operators) are enhanced by the use of multiple schemes but a single carrier can be just as effective <br />There's no right answer or wrong for that matter. Just enjoy "keeping em on the tracks"
