I plan on doing about a 3x4 area of my layout with Intermodal so this helped me. Glad to see you'll be doing a layout and keeping this site going. It's the best N Scale site I've seen.

Almost all the Class I lines running out of New Orleans probably run through such scene. That southwestern stuff is usually more desert-y looking, so a slight shift of locale might be good because I do want have some greenery and trees and such. I also like the idea of the intermodal terminal too. I've always liked the look of the them on other layout.

Don't know about the southwestern scenery, maybe you could make that winding through wetlands to put it in Louisiana?
