I read a forum the other day asking about train lines and I began to wonder too. I run a UP and Chessie (B&O, C&O) and occasionally a CSX. I just wonder who else models there own rail line and what they might model. Thanks![8D]
I run Western Maryland and Maryland Midland stuff mainly, 2 railroads on the same right of way, but separated by 30-40 years!
I am also guilty of running a little CSX, and D&H (Sorry, but I’m a sucker for PA’s and Sharks)
Yea I think it adds creativity to run more than one line on the same RR, but thats me! Thanks for the reply.
I’ve got a main line and a branch line.

Sounds good!
I run Northern New England trains. Like Maine Central, B&M,BAR,Green Mountain and others.
Yea I think its tough just to model one when you see a cool paint scheme or something like that, because it sometimes triggers a burst of good ideas.
I’m guilty of running several (Chessie, C&O, Western Maryland, ). Like Beegle55 said, I like the paint schemes on a lot so there will soon be a few more added!
My actual main line started out as the Western Maryland.

Double track Conrail mainline, with run throughs by CSX, CP, Amtrak, EJ&E, IHB, South Shore, BNSF, UP, and NS. Yes, that’s a lot of railroads.
My layout is mainly, BN, UP,with some SF. I also have some MEC, BM, and BAR because thay are in the area I live.[:)]
Southern. Maybe some Norfolk Western if I ever get som eof thire equipment. Norfolk Southern, I only have a GP50 in their scheme…
BNSF, UP, MRL
I run mostaly SP with a lil WP, UP and Santa Fe on our layout. But since i share it with my dad and two brothers it gets a lot of other trafic. My dad pritty much just runs BN. One of my brothers runs Rio Grande and UP, while the other runs mostaly PRR. So we definitaly have a good mix going over here.

single for me csx
Main line - Japan National Railways
Second line - Tomikawa Valley Railway (Freelance shortline loosely based on a JNR branch line.)
I didn’t include the 30 inch gauge Kashimoto Forest Railway, since it neither interchanges rolling stock nor operates. It’s just stationary scenery.

I have a large oval (you can’t really tell that it’s an oval) that has two tracks running side by side. On one side, I have a pair of CSX Dash 8 engines pulling a long intermodal train. On the other track, running in the oppisite direction of the CSX for that “passing trains” effect, is a Union Pacific mixed freight pulled by a SD-40-2 and a GP-38-2. Having two lines increases diversity for realism. [8D]
