    What if you where to restart the frisco, but take it back to any time 1900 and beond? Where would you locate it? What motive power would you have? How would it be set up?

    Restictions:
    1. No passenger operations
    2. No ES40DC, ES44DC, ES44AC, Dash 9's, Dash8's, SD70 series, SD75 series, SD60 series or GP60's. Also no articulateds, no Shays, nothing bigger than a 2-10-4 or 2-10-2
    3.Limit 10 locomotives
    4. Must have at least 1 yard in a "major city". I would say Springfield, MO would be about the smallest you could go.
    5. Can not be more than 5% trakage on other lines. I.E. you cant find a line that's already operated and lease it.
    6. Must have ONE main focus. I.E. coal hauling to a steel mill or power plant or Grain from SW MO to the a feed mill in AR.
    7.locomotives must be in corect time frame. I.E no SD40-2's in the 1910.

    Here's my example/idea for this What If

    I would have a line linking 1 coal mine up North and suplie it to the Kansas City power plants. I would have 2 yards, 1 in KC the other in Omaha. I would have 2 GP38-2's for the yard work and 8 SD50's for the coal hauling.
