    In the October 2021 issue of Model Railroader magazine, Lance Mindheim built a N scale Brooklyn Terminal layout with some street running of First Avenue. You can also see this 1940's themed layout on the www.lancemindheim.com website. The February 2018 issue of Trains magazine has a detailed article on the present-day New York New Jersey Rail system.

    Brigham Young and the Mormons had built a rail line that connected to Salt Lake City called the Utah Southern Railroad. The Utah Southern Railroad later became part of the Union Pacific Railroad. Today, the Salt Lake City Southern Railroad and the Utah Transit Authority's TRAX light rail runs on this rail route. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Southern_Railroad_(1871–1881) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Lake_City_Southern_Railroad Wendell Idaho, USA

    Not all of the shortline railroads are under the Genesee & Wyoming umbrella. You also have Watco Companies that own many railroads and some independent railroads such as the Salt Lake, Garfield, and Western Railway and the Oregon Pacific Railroad. Wendell Idaho, USA
