Luis,
UP trains run through all over the US, as do BNSF and KCS - we see all three here in Washington DC regularly.So yes, it can happen.  Just not very often, and certainly not on a secondary or short line.

Think of it this way - RENFE passenger trains can cross the border to Lisboa from Madrid by Salamanca, or between Madrid and Merida.  Neither  is the most direct route but to directly (in a straight line) youhave to get off Renfe's passenger lines, ride some regionals, and change track gauge.

It just depends on what you want to model.

And there are MANY places in the US where UP runs normally that are just as pretty as Vermont.

Hi Luis. Am new here and just stumbled on your thread, looks like a good beginning.

The UP goes through some mighty pretty country along the Mississippi river, rolling green hills with woods and green farmland that would make for a modelling challenge. And of course then you would have an excuse for a long bridge!

Enjoy!

Hi.

Thank you all for your help.

Meanwhile, I have been having fun with scratch building some sort of a feed mill. It has some resemblances with Tom Johnson's INRAIL structure, but I have his permission for that.

Still have a lot of work to be done, But it's going the way I want

Best wishes.

Luis, that's got nice proportions, good work!
Nothing like that in Portugal I assume?
Regards, Otto K.

Still want to add some storage silos and a ciclone somewhere.

Cheers.

Excellent workmanship.  I'd love to see some closer photos.
