Mark Ernatt models the Sedalia subdivision of the Missouri Pacific Railroad in the late 1980’s after the Union Pacific takeover.  There is still plenty of Mopac blue running along with the UP amour yellow.  Amtrak, Cotton Belt, SP, Rio Grande and the Katy also have a presence on the line. The railroad uses the Easy DCC system for train control.  The first level from St. Louis to Jefferson City is operating.  The second level from Jefferson City to Kansas City will begin construction this summer. 

Here's the route modeled...
