This picture is proof that we need to be aware of our surroundings. Most of the time, freight trains do not stop at stop signs here in the United States. This is a picture of a Union Pacific Railroad train in Gretna, Louisiana. The train is running down 5th Street. Gretna is a suburb of New Orleans. https://www.railpictures.net/photo/92508/ Wendell Idaho, USA -

This lift bridge is easily visible along Metra's Union Pacific North Line. The Metra trains along the UP North Line run from Downtown Chicago to Kenosha, Wisconsin. At least two decades ago, I had ridden trains along this route when I was in the United States Navy. Wendell Idaho, USA -
You are off to a good start. Keep up the good work. How To Build A Switching Layout is a great book with a lot of great information about building a small switching layout. There is nothing wrong with building a small switching layout in N scale. I have both N and HO scale locomotives in my apartment. Wendell Idaho, USA

The WES uses diesel multiple units(DMU) from the former Colorado Railcar. I don't think they use the old RDC's anymore if I am not mistaken. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WES_Commuter_Rail Wendell Idaho, USA -

I am going to always love the Southern Pacific Railroad because I had grew up around that railroad in the Los Angeles area. Now, I am not one of those people who loves the Espee but hates the Union Pacific Railroad. Life goes on. The Southern Pacific was in a financial mess and close to bankruptcy before the Union Pacific bought them out. Wendell Idaho, USA -

Here's a sidenote about the Eastern Idaho Railroad: Most of the EIRR's locomotives are in the corporate image of Watco(black and yellow). The Union Pacific Railroad has trackage rights on the line between Minidoka and Buhl(via Burley and Twin Falls). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Idaho_Railroad https://web.archive.org/web/20140201200735/http://www.watcocompanies.com/Railroads/eirr/eirr.htm Wendell Idaho, USA
