Heres one that won't be around much longer:
The Sierra Pacific railroad. It is owned by Sierra Pacific as an outlet for there mill in Susanville. That mill is sch. to close in a month or two (not shure of the date). It runs between Susanville,Ca. and Wendel,ca. where it connects with the SP (Oops, UP).
Since this is the only reason for this remaining southern end of the Modoc lines existance, I don't expect it will be to long befor UP abandonds its section from Wendel to Flannigan,Nv.

The ex-CGW line from Waterloo-Oelwein is now owned and operated by Transco Railway, Inc. They repair and rebuild railroad freight cars from all over the U.S. According the the Oelwein Daily Register's volume 119-#91, Transco received approval of a $234,000 Community Economic Betterment Account from the Iowa Department of Economic Development in 2002.

TCWR- Twin Cities & Western Railroad, a shortline in Minnesota running from Minneapolis/St Paul, through south central Minnesota to Appleton, MN, then BNSF rights to Milbank, SD. Line is the start of the former Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension, then former Soo Line.

MPLI- A sister road to TC&W, Minnesota Prairie Line Operates a line connecting with the TC&W at Norwood, MN running out to Hanley Falls, MN. Line is former MSTL, then C&NW. Last check, their locomotives were two GP10s painted in the MPLI scheme, but I had heard the GP10s were on their last days and might be using different power currently.

In north Georgia, the Hartwell has recently expanded to become the Hartwell and Athens Line. Also its sister road the Great Walton.

Between the two of them their are about a dozen different fallen flag locomotives rolling down the rails.

[Anonymous]

Some more Colorado railroads:
Canyon City and Royal Gorge
Georgetown Loop
Leadville & Southern (?)
Pikes Peak Cog Railway


Note: This is the LAST season for the Georgetown Loop as we know it. A new group will be running it, if one can be found. They will have to have their own equipment as
the current operators will be taking theirs with them.

Colorado Springs
