Which type of railroading do you prefer to model? Shortlines and regionals such as Morristown & Erie and Montana RailLink typically offer up an interesting mix of older locomotive power, perhaps ALCOs or GP30s on less well kept lines that the Class Is gave up on. Their operations are smaller and slower, yet highly customer oriented when compared to many Class I operations. Class I operations on railroads such as Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific offer the most modern horsepower available like AC44s and SD70Ms. Their fast paced mainline focused operations are fast-paced in comparison to shortline/reginal railroads and offer a larger variety of freight trains to model. Additionally, they operate out of modern, state-of-the-art facilities that are typically quite large. So which type of operation do you prefer modeling and why?
