I operate a small, private name, industrail railroad located somewhere in the anthracite (hard coal) mountains of eastern Pennsylvania. It serves an industrial complex that forges and machines large axles, crankshafts, and the like. It also serves a small mining area that supplies fuel for the forge, nearby power generating plants, and some for shipping out of the area. <br /> <br />I've built up my fleet of undecorated 1st generation diesels and a couple of old 2nd generation units, and I'm painting them now as I have time. A simple tiger orange and black is the color scheme, with stripes on each end of the engines. <br /> <br />I have enough equipment to justify an order to a decal maker like Railgraphics. I'm making the difficult decision now on the name of the railroad ...... something with my last name and forge and/or machine and/or mine and/or industrial and/or etc etc etc. I'm thinking of a herald with a tiger paw, something like Clemson University's, or something like that. <br /> <br />The railroad interchanges with Conrail and CP. <br />
