Brakie that is exactly why I chose short line. It by definition cant be inter continental and an inter continental RR can't be a short line if it is world wide. It is just a little twist I threw in. When is the vote going to take place?
First,A short line is just that a short line not a major world wide player.
Looking at the growth of the G&W RR it changed its name to Genesee & Wyoming Inc which now owns 63 railroads including 2 in foreign countries.
I used this idea for Global Rail.
