Well....yall asked....LOL The Commonwealth Transportation Railways is the backbone of the Commonwealth Industries Group (made up of the Commonwealth Steel{CS}, the Commonwealth Mining{CM}, and the Commonwealth Transportation{CT} which is both rail and trucking). The CI Group as it is known is a "It could have really happend" deal. It is based in British Colombia and Alberta Canada. The CI Group runs its own coal, ore, limestone and other aggregate mines...and its own steel mills...raw materials and finished products are shipped by the CT...with connections along the line at several points with the BC Rail and the Canadian National...as well as a "Shared" rail yard in South Vancouver BC with a close friend of mines P-F Railroad the Sunset Coast Line. The CT's primary tonnage is Lumber products, steel, coal, ore, general freight, and chemicles. We have 173 locomotives, and are also owner of the Utah Railway in Utah (so those locomotives are rostered under the CT...but still in URY paint). What i like best about Proto Freelancing is i can do my railroad the way i want to...see the CT standardizes on a lot of things....for example...our Dash-9s were derated to 4300hp to match out SD75s and our SD9043ACs...so they were reclassified as C43-9MWL (due to the canadian 4 window cabs). We have rebuilt C30-7s which are now C36-8s to match our SD45-3s and our M636Is. Most of our equipmet has been purchased new...but some are remanufactures, and home road rebuilds...such as our SD65s (rebuilt SD50s). God there is so much more i can say...but i think ill just let it go for now...you can ask questions and ill answer them LOL Johnny Dash 9
