While I appreciate the unique NG content of this board, I would certainly welcome limited shortline content as well, but keeping the emphasis on NG. Worth noting perhaps is the many instances in which rr's had both NG and Std. ga within their system, such as DRGW, Union Pacific/Utah Norhtern, EBT, SVRy, C&S and perhaps others. In talking about the history of the respective NG, you have to aknowledge the std. ga. component. I find logging lines of particular interest regardless of gauge. I too enjoy RYPN, but a great many of the posted subjects are beyond the scope of my interest, such as mainline steam and 1st gen. diesel, and traction. My 2 cents.
