The Los Angeles Terminal Railroad

[FCIN]

Ed, I like shortlines, especially if they operate old urban switching districts. The Chicago Terminal Railroad convinced me that a shortline in Downtown LA would be plausible.

Yep, the Chicago Terminal is a perfect example of the type of operation you've chosen to model! Not sure why that one slipped my mind, but it is an interesting operation.

Ballard Terminal popped in to mind because it is a short industrial branch line taken over by a short line operation, but I have to say your plan is much more interesting. BTRR doesn't have a very interesting traffic base, but does have some interesting features. Some information about it can be found on the 'Net.
