I protolance flatland Santa Fe operations from 1978 - 1993. I have seven grain elevators, plastics processing, ethanol, corn processing, printing plants, cement plants, scrapyards, various agricultural related industries, generic (for now) warehouses, and assorted other industries. I have an interchange with the Frisco (SLSF) because I like their late 70's diesel paint scheme. I run mostly SD40-2's, SD45's, GP50's, GP60's and various Dash 7 & 8's. As far as rolling stock I have over a hundred covered hoppers for grain and plastics, over a hundred boxcars, 50 tankers mostly ADM and Cargill, autoracks, container cars, flatcars, gondolas, and anything else ATSF might have run. Some are only used to run-thru and don't stop. If I get bored, I pull out all my GP35's and roofwalk boxcars and run early 60's. I prefer car card operations most, but occasionally enjoy just highballing from one end to the other.
