Hello unto the Gauge, well it seems I need to Tap the well of knowledge here again, (Lord I am glad I found you guys) as some of you know I am building my Fictional layout the Tennessee & Western that will be based in the time line from 1945 to early 1965.
The T&W will share trackage with the L & N at Tullahoma, TN with an iinterchange yard with the L&N. The fictional part of the RR will run from Tullahoma to Memphis (around 200 miles)
My question is what names would you likely see on such a RR, I mean did UP serve Memphis in this time era? Would you see a Sant Fe box car in the L&N exchange yard?
I guess my real question is "How much inter-mingling was there between railroads in this time period".
I mean I know my RR is fictional, but I do want it to have realistic attitude in operations and time line.
Thanks for any help,
TN Trainman
