Justin;
That's a darn good idea for a prototype to base your layout on that GEC has given you. Rahway Valley appears to have been an interesting operation. Here's a web page with some info and a good map that might be of interest http://www.trainsarefun.com/rvrr/rvrr.htm. Bachmann makes a nice DCC equipped GE 70 ton of the correct phase should you be interested in their motive power. Having actually worked with and operated 70 tonners in my career, I can tell you those little rascals can really pull.
Plenty of similar small operations used to exist around the country, but of course you can just freelance your own railroad, using ideas from many of them.
