Stein has a excellent point and I will take it to the next step.
When I originally designed Slate Creek Industrial lead I designed it for C&HV,N&W, NS and CSX on a rotating operation plan but,there was another road in the shadows I been wanting to model for years-Southern Ry and I decided to add Southern to my 78-80 opration and decided that will be my primary road for that era with a C&HV and N&W operation when the mood hits..I am happy with this rotation plan since it gives me the roads I like-the Southern, N&W,NS and CSX with my C&HV has the odd man out.I can move into the 80s and use Southern,N&W and NS power as early post merger power.
Another idea I been toying with is back dating C&HV to 65/66 and have a 60 era operation ..However,that remains to be seen since I have 2 Santa Fe engines to cover that era and I will decide if I really want to go this route after Slate Creek is built.
