Railroads of Interest

Please note, I am focusing on railroads as they existed in the 1980s and prior. Below you will see railroads of interest to me and their historical ancestry broken out. Though some systems have merged (Union Pacific assumed Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern is now BNSF) keep in mind that for the purposes of my modeling, time stopped around 1989.

• Union Pacific
• Minnesota Commercial
• Burlington Northern
  • Great Northern
  • Northern Pacific
  • Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
• Chicago and North Western
  • Fremont Elkhorn Valley Railroad
  • Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad
  • Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway
• Canadian Pacific
  • Soo Line
• Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad
  • Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
