I don't have any screenshots yet, but my railway is the Cobalt Western. I never build anything without a backstory, so, without further ado...
The Cobalt Western began as a branch of the C&NW in Iowa, running under that banner with R-1 4-6-0s and, later, SD9s, until 1990. Then the line was sold to RailAmerica, who bought the SD9s as the track was still laid with 1922-vintage 90lb rail and crazy light bridges.
However, RailAmerica ran the line terribly, as they didn't care about an Iowa line serving nothing but grain elevators and a few small factories. In 1998, the railway was put up for abandonment, much to the saddness of the local residents of the towns the branch served.
But, it was a large museum that would be the branch's savior. The musuem was mostly a steam museum, but they were led by firebrand steam diehards Stanley Richardson and his grandson, Sawyer Regensberg. They weren't about to see the rails go fallow, so they bought the track for scrap value. it was barely worth $4'000 dollars for some thirty miles of track. Within weeks of the purchase, however, the first trains were running--behind a pair of 2-8-0 consolidations!
Today, the railway has diversified the traffic base, adding ethanol plants, several fuel dealerships, a car-unloading ramp, small intermodal yard, lumber yards, and a passenger service that angers Amcrash (Amtrak) because it's not on their trains. They've used the revenue to restore their steam fleet and use them on common-carrier service on the branch, making the line the last steam common carrier in North America. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Regensberg are open to railfans, and, if asked, will often allow you to jump up in the cab and ride the train. It goes in the face of every ICC law, but, neither of them seem to care:wave:
Yeah, long winded, but still. Route is a WIP right now, and i'm considering releasing it when i'm done, but that's a long way off. barely have one town on it yet!
