Yes. In fact, what I might do is first write a TL about Teddy Roosevelt getting a third term. Then, have the new TL be a spin-off of that.

Another drawings i have make, are the Maine narrow gauge lines, that are rebuilt during the New Deal for a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge.
This is a map for they became today
In Portland, would exist today a Intermodal hub for metric and common gauge lines would transfer freight and for trucks.
Some of fleet used would be.

EMD GT26, today common freight hauler

Personally, I was thinking ALCO would instead built some garratts based on Beyer-Peacock's designs for East African Railways.Some of fleet used would be.

In the meantime, I have thought of how the version with a 1918 POD would have some changes.
Namely, a new version of the first post on the original TL, and a vignette focusing on Ripely revising his plan.

So, would be these models that ALCO would be buit? What the modifications do you imagine these garrats would have and how they would like. Maybe i tried create a photoshop or drawing of them.
This would be interesting to see. Would have much changes the plan or would similar to what you have planning by now?

TBH, I figured the railroads would remain 2ft 6in in my TL. Though some 4-8-4s shown here might come later.

Indeed, the above engine is one thing I gave in some proposed rail-themed contributions to More Perfect Union by @HeX.
BTW, it's an excellent TL.

Interesting. On my TL, i envision today even some form of container/intermodal transport on Maine Northern, use metric gauge Double-Stack wagons, similar to some prototypes that have been make in Brazil by America Latina Logistica in late 90s.
And on common gauge lines, this could be the image of today Double-Stack under the wires on America use the Steel Interstate lines, if a more loading gauge.

Depending on how things work out in my TL, I can see a big steam reserve that at least exists in the early Cold War. Since in my TL, certain railroads electrify.
However, the advent of diesels renders them pointless, and many are abandoned. Or there are too many engines for scrapyards to easily eliminate.

Well, i think you could mantain more standart steam fleeet make by ALCO, and the big power engines like Challenger and Super Pacific could easy coexist until middle 60s. As electrification, i can see the roads as B&O, NYC, PRR, N&W, SP, MILW, GN, UP, IC and Southern go into full electrification,
As diesel power, i imagine american roads have more liberty in design engines, and could be possible some form of higher speed DMUs trainsets like my DSL-30 and DXP-55, or even something based on trains as DB VT 11.5, BR HST 125 and much more use of railcars and models instead only Budd RDC. Don´t know if would be much ASB, or by 30s if the New Deal, a high speed version based on Zephyr trainset. Only ideas.

@Andrew Boyd. Only these two sadly. As i found more concept engines or interesting stuff i will post here.
@Andrew Boyd, here´s some images i think could be interesting for use in future works
For use as illustrated first gen. diesel and electric power, as GE Demonstrator Little Joe goes test on Milwaukee Road
Rapid Transit

@Andrew Boyd, another ones.
I Found interesting this fantasy electric model create. Could be a good mode for use in late 50s and 60s by some roads...

@Andrew Boyd. Last bunch of images by now

Some photoshop creations from site Pixel Magic i have download time ago
American Garrat maybe?

Would the first electric you showed be two conjoined engines or one engine?
I can see it for sure on the Rio Grande and southern of my TL.
