CBQ/BN/BNSF served industry in Chicago
#6
Well, the four car limit is imposed by the available track space of the second longest track. The track would be "full" with a pair of Genset or GP60. It looks much better with a single MP15AC as shown on the photo. It is possible to redesign the track plan for longer tracks but that results not in a more prototypical track plan. However even six cars are a very short "train". That is the reason why I refrain from "trains" and stay with locals serving industry. It is mostly a question of personal taste and esthetic opinion.
CNW would be very prototypical but.... I simply do not like yellow/green paint scheme at all. Have one CNW engine buried deep in the cellar and did use it less than 3 minutes only Sad However, I love and use UP GP15-1 on the layout. Morton salt is served by UP.
