    The NCRC between Ord & Norfolk Nebraska
    This does include a BNSF Local operating on the branch running south out of Columbus
    BNSF Ravenna Sub Traffic Abbott & Phillips (Mainly AI Traffic)
    UP Kearney Subdivision Traffic between Shelton & Grand Island
    The Columbus Subdivision between Grand island & North Bend
    The NCRC Norfolk Subdivision
    The NCRC between Central City & David City
    The NCRC between Geand Island and Ord
    NCRC also has trackage rights on the UP between Grand Island & Columbus.
    I believe they may have trackage rights to Fremont. But it's uncertain whether they do or not
    Locomotives include
    For the UP
    SD70ACe
    ES44AC
    AC4400CW
    SD40-2
    GP38-2
    SD70M
    SD60
    GP60
    GP40-2s
    BNSF
    B40-8W
    C44-9W
    ES44C4
    ES44AC
    SD70ACe Iso Cab
    SD70MAC
    GP30 Rebuilds
    GP60
    GP38-2
    GP40-2
    NCRC Roster
    SD40-2
    GP38-2
    SD60
    GP15-1
    GP40-2
    Rolling Stock
    2 Bay Hopper
    Steel Coil Car (lot of these are seen on this line)
    Centerbeam
    60ft High Cube Boxcar
    50ft Boxcar
    4750 Hopper
    Tanker car
    3 Bay Hopper
    low Gondola
    4 bay hopper
    reefer car
    Bethgon & 3 bay coal hopper
    bulkhead flatcar
    Autorack
    Maxi IV & Husky Stack Car
    Twin Bay Hoppers (MOW Ballast Hoppers)
    89ft Flatcar
    60ft Flatcar
    Also you can drive the UP Services between North Bend and Shelton
    Timetable is about the same as Sherman Hill for the UP but is slightly more busy by maybe 5 more trains
    BNSF Timetable on the Ravenna gets one train every hour. And is 90% Coal Traffic
    NCRC
    Grand Island to Ord Evening Departure returns the following morning
    NFLC (Unknown times there is very limited info on this one.
    Central City Switcher I think Late Morning or Early Afternoon but I'm not sure
    Lot of uncertainties with the NCRC Timetable.
    Dovetail can reuse railcars from other routes and packs as they see fit. (But the 2 bay Hoppers, Coil Cars, & 4 Bay Hoppers should be modeled to the more modern varient)
    The Manifests should be about 50 cars and use the Oakvile Subdivision Mixed Freight generation for the Mixed Frieghts that run on the UP & BNSF to provide immersive mixed freights.
    NCRC is Industry Based. But Columbus & Grand Island Yards have a bit of Miscellaneous stuff in it as well
    The rest is up to the Developers on what they want.
    (Really only made a few development requests to make some adjustments on what I think would make the route even more Immersion and stand out more than the rest)
    Sorry if this seems incredibly long

    I'm out of ideas if it didn't seem obvious enough
