Or at least inspiration.
I came across the FCR in a roundabout way but it has some great features - sharp curves, kick backs, short sidings, canyons. This is a bing maps link to just one part of the area which looks surprisingly like several of the track plans people have posted for their layouts

and the company website

it is part of Omnitrax and has been using SW1500 and SW1200s (I think - I have only picked up on this because they are supposed to have gone to the Illinois Railway) and is rumoured to be getting GP9s. A search has found other Omnitrax locos that are supposed to have been seen on the line - modellers licence would allow a wide range!
