It's 2026 and NPSF has purchased a secondary line in New Mexico from the BNSF. The NPSF has a substantial subset of all modern railroad traffic running across its well maintained route through the desert and the city of Albuquerque, NM.
Passenger trains from Amtrak and RailRunner compete for track space with unit trains, mixed manifests, coal drags, ethanol trains, and local switch runs.
The NPSF is proto-freelanced, based on the practices of BNSF. The layout is double decked and the desert scenery is 100% complete. The railroad uses NCE DCC with radio. Trains are dispatched via CTC with some verbal train orders. Local freights and yards use switchlists to direct car movements.
