August 8 1980. My Clinch Valley interchanges with

L&N and Southern in Knoxville, N&W at Richlands, Logan Southern at Logan, Chessie (C&O), V&O and DT&I at Huntington.

Since all are staging, there is plenty of foreign power bringing trains on and off the layout.

The fictional Allegheny, Mercer, and Lake Erie running from North Bessemer to Wesleyville, PA (just east of Erie) in September-October 1998. Runs iron ore, auto parts, and intermodal south and automobiles, coal, and intermodal north. Or at least it runs all that on paper, considering all that exists so far is a drawing of a limestone loading facility on kraft paper.

You didnt specify if freelances or prototype so.....

The Borracho Railroad, serving the Borracho Brewery and the town of Borracho Springs in the remote desert southwest. Set in the period between 1947 and 1957. Large scale 1/20.3 narrow guage indoor layout. Roster consists of about 6 small Baldwin and Porter 0-4-0 steam locos and about 6 gas/mechanical critters.

   Have fun with your trains

After many years of searching. I have finally settled on a definitive answer. Late 1960s Great Northern, 1970s Burlington Northern, (So I can run Cascade Green or Big Sky Blue depending on my mood) and my freelanced Tyco Valley and Chattanooga. (I have to do something with those old Tyco Chattanooga Choo Choo Locos from my early days) I also have a modest collection of Union Pacific Steam. I think I will repaint what I can into GN, and let the rest collect dust.
