>>7443348Well hell, in my case I prefer to stick to Milwaukee Road freight trains of Minnesota in the 1970's. I get a nice mix of locomotive variety, as well as freight car variety. New things were being tried throughout the 1970's, such as the huge goddamn Vert-A-Pac cars meant to haul Chevy Vegas
>>7443333 and there was still an unhealthy mix of friction bearing cars with new roller bearing cars.
If I'm feeling spicy I can toss in the American Freedom Train to make shit interesting. The AFT rolled through MN in 1975, and quite a bit of its journey to Minneapolis was on MILW track.
>Pic related, MILW had to help 4449 and AFT up "Shortline Hill" in southern St. Paul, MN. The old Schlitz brewery is visible in the distance
