Our home road, the UMTC RR, has quite the
history. Started back in the time where BN and Amtrak were new to the world,
the UMTC was formed. Still in operation today, it serves businesses in the
Minneapolis - St Paul area, plus points in Wisconsin, the Dakotas, and into
Canada. Ultimately it runs from Chicago to connect to lines leading to
Vancouver. Those connections are up in Winnipeg for now but subject to change
as the layout progresses! Anyway, click the Planned Layout for more info on
that. Here, however, are paint schemes for each decade the UMTC has been
around.

Note that some cars are in pre-2000 numbers and may be out of the
numbering pattern for the time being - eventually when they rotate through the
shops they will recieve proper numbering updates.
