I don't know about shortlines, but Seminole Gulf is CSX's partner in crime in SW Florida.
FEC runs Jacksonville to Miami and exchanges with CSX and NS.
There used to be about 15 railroads running out of Tampa, but now its down to two
P.S. Amtrack doesn't count
More like Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. lol. A few People from other parts of the country and world.

Yes there is an Amtrak station here, and its a 10 min. drive to downtown Tampa, but the Amtrak trains have a bad tendency to crash and be late etc.

Sorry, I don't live near Boston, but I am facinated with the city and especialy with South Station. Did you know that durring WW2 (the period I model) it was the most used station in the US (part of the reason for the era)
Thanks for the tip, if anyone else has anything they can add, please do so.

Today I did a bit of Rail Fanning of my Diorama.
When I arrive at Clear Water Junction we find the LO15 waiting just beyond the CNW/UP diamond.
We asked the crew if they knew when the CNW train was coming, but they didn't know. So we quick went to get some dinner. When we had got back the CNW train had already crossed, and the LO15 had left.
Later the scanner comes alive; an Empty Ore train to Superior is heading west from Algoma Steel.
We hear the roar of the EMDs as they start the grade, and then slow down for the crossing. After clearing the crossing the crew would put her in notch 8 to get up the grade. Looks like An Oakways SD60 is helping the ore trains. (I'll probably re do this picture with a better back ground if weather permits tomorrow.)

The green was more of a lighter version of the cascade green, the "Z" stripe is based off the WC F45s, the trucks where based off of the EJE trucks (I could also say ATSF too), and the biggest help was the DME paint scheme. That's what really inspired me.

Nice! My first guess would have been CN&W, because the paint scheme with the Z looks a bit like their last paint scheme, along with similar colors.
