Larry;
I chose the name Kentucky Street Industrial Spur, since you can find a Kentucky Street, Avenue, whatever, in cities all over the country and that allows me to operate it as just about any railroad that suits my fancy. One time it might be L&N, the next MoPac, the next ConRail, or even a private switching or freelance company. Gives me a lot of variety and a home for my fleet of locomotives.
As for it being a new "F&C" line built over the old roadbed - would never work and besides this community seems to be anti-industry. Also, too many people around here are familiar with the F&C and its abandoned line to get away with that. Of course if Ricky Rail had come to the rescue back in 1985, the F&C would still be in operation, although just another piece of RJCC.
