[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Wild Bill</i> <br /><br />I was thinkin' of "Eastern Sierra Nevada Desert Railroad" A consolidation of old Southern Pacilfic, Union Pacific, And Virginia and Truckee right of ways Serving Reno, Virginia City, Yerington, Carson City, and several desert comunties around the area. <br /> The fictional back story: It is the late forties, and farming, as well as the mines, have all boomed after the war, and there are many abandoned roads. ESNDRR bought all this up and exsist as a trunk line for both UP, and SP, and operate mostly on the old Virginia and Truckee RR right of ways that it bought up before it went under. They lease trackage to the UP, And SP, so you can see SP, UP, and V&T rolling stock on it at any time! Some right of ways are truly spectacular, crossing desert, through mountains, around lakes, crossing farmland, and going to several mines. Lots of industry to serve here! <br /> Name was selected by chance. A ceremoney was held for the signing of the incorporation papers. As the president of this new and daring enterprise signed the documents, and the railroad became a reality, He stated " May good fortune and saftey rule our future, and may no man put us under!" (ESNDRR) <br /> Wild Bill <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Wild Bill, you are a railroader after my own heart! Visit my site below, I have not solidified by backstory yet, but I do have some such material on my Passenger Coach and shop pages.
