<p>Hello and welcome,</p> <p>[quote user="Alex"]what type of switching locomotive is suitable for this era? (prefer diesel)[/quote]</p> <p>Yes a diesel, what type would probably depend on the railroad.</p> <p>Since you were not too specific on the actual location.</p> <p>Check these wikipedia articles that show main line route maps, might get you started:</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchison,_Topeka_and_Santa_Fe_Railway">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchison,_Topeka_and_Santa_Fe_Railway</a></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_Transportation_Company">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_Transportation_Company</a></span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago,_Burlington_and_Quincy_Railroad">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago,_Burlington_and_Quincy_Railroad</a></span></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_and_Pacific_Railway">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_and_Pacific_Railway</a></p> <p>This one doesnt have a map in it, but operated in Texas:</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Pacific_Railroad">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Pacific_Railroad</a></p> <p>This one is kind of northern part of Texas (but on the western edge):</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago,_Rock_Island_and_Pacific_Railroad">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago,_Rock_Island_and_Pacific_Railroad</a></p> <p>At the bottom of these wikipedia links is a list of class 1 railroads operating post 1954. There may be other railroads that ran through the area. You could look on google maps to get an idea of the topography of the area.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
