DT&I

Unread post by DT&I »

Well AARR gave me this idea and I'm done putting it off so here it is the modern DT&I, this isn't part of the organied paper railroads. The DT&I operates between Flat Rock, MI(with rights to Detroit) to Ironton, OH with the modern IORY and CF&E in it. The DT&I mainly hauls coal, manifest, and a rare TOFC. Rostering mostly EMD power this line is trying to modernize itself. REORGANIZED
Roster:
GP40-2 - 400-426
SD40-2 - 413 - 426
GP38-2 - 300-324
SD70ACe - 970 - 979
SD70M - 700 - 709

Are any GP60s that you have available for sale? I'm looking for some to rebuild as B38ACs.
