NAME OF COMPANY: Boston & Western Rail System GAUGE: 4 ft 8.5 in NICKNAME: The All American Route PERIOD OPERATIONAL: 1840 - Today HISTORY / DESCRIPTION: If one thinks of Americas railroads then one cannot ignore the Boston & Western Rail System Corporation. A route spanning Massachusetts...

@Andrew Boyd, so, US railroads ITTL would focus they investments on more modern steam power or electrification programs, and diesel engines would be delay and more secondary uses by them. On Electrification side, i can see the Little Joe model became a "common" electric engine for heavy freight...

@Andrew Boyd For intermodal stations, First i have in mind are LAX in L.A., Logan Internacional in Boston; Dulles in D.C., open in 62, you could have project built by new standart intermodal connections by this time; Atlanta and Miami on South. I still don't know where could be the intermodal...

My next suggestion, you can focus on mainline electrification projects and the new diesel and electric streamliners by 50s. For passengers Streamlines, i can see the EMD F and E units just go use, but for freight, the steamers still in use until 58/62 maybe?

@Andrew Boyd, what railroads exist in ITTL 2019 and lines that would be incorporated. I think in made a map of them to give a better vision. And what yould be electric routes and HSR lines? And did you take the drawings o send to you? What are you planning make? And what you think about the...

These are interesting ideas. And the 2 you could have apart from freight/intermodal, new stations built inside airports, and have railroads work together if some airlines to continue to provide some main services. As freight, i can see these intermodal hubs begin the base for what could be ATL...

Here what i could think to occur in my opinion: Baltimore & Ohio - Option 2 Reading/Jersey Central - Option 1 Wabash/Lehigh Valley - Option 1 Boston & Maine - Option 2

That is what i imagine. But even focus on highways, maybe we can see at least some level of modernization on railroads for freight between the states and major centes (if can solve the problems of multiple gauges and routes built), and the introduction on rapid transit on major cities by late 60s?

Great TL! Very well. I need to continue this. And one thing i would like to know os about the economics and infrastructure projects that have been make by military in OTL, how they would occur (SP Subway, Rio-Niteroi Bride, Angra Nuclear Power Plant, Itaipu Dam)... Could ALT Brazil averted some...

And for better visualization, this is the Lake Shore network by 30s. @Andrew Boyd @isayyo2

This is rapid concept i have been created. Will update and add more later. NAME OF COMPANY: TRAX - Tranz American Xpress GAUGE: 4 ft 8.5 in NICKNAME: America on Tracks PERIOD OPERATIONAL: 1985-present HISTORY / DESCRIPTION: If reshaping of American Railways and new booming urban renewal...

Well, i have a list of somethings that would like to view in this ATL - Steamers retired more later. Maybe some new streamliners models? - More rapid transit and interurban/light rail; - NYC Subway don´t became in a total crap system by 70s/80s; - Begin of HSR systems built in US, link major...

Hi @Andrew, here´s the paint shcemes on bullet trains that you have ask. Here we go... And have some bonus images to you think...

@Andrew Boyd, just have a take on what would the electric roads would be like on TTL 2018.

As for @TheMann, here´s what the GE EP-70 electric locomotive would look like...

Continue if schemes...

Here´s the paint schemes that would be used for passenger trains for ITTL 2018 based on topic that we are talk. The engines are Siemens Charger and EMD F59PHI, but i can imagine that GE P42 Genesis would be in use together.

Something like this? I Imagine that the High Speed Trains would all be running in separate lines, like the Interstate Steel System and another HSR around the world, something similar to TGV lines, maybe shared if other trains only on main stations. Now the traditional passenger trains, commuter...

The last ones for HSR service...

@Andrew Boyd, i make these drawings imagine what the HSR on ATL would look like based on your post. My next plan as make the paint schemes of railroads in ATL 2018 would be use based on your ideas. For passenger units, what you think the railroads would use today apart of Bullet trains? the P42...
