Anyone got any suggestions for a fairly realistic modern-day UP consist for the UP part of Whitefish5?

Diesels would be a mixture of CP and UP? Say 4 UP SD70Ms, 2 CP AC4400CWs? COFCs would be single-level wellcars, or CP-style conflats?

Well until recently CP would take its engines off at the border and UP would add theres.The majority of traffic is potash both loads and empties.Manifests both ways and grain.CP and UP run power through from Portland or Hinkle to Lethbridge Alberta.Power may come off at Cranbrook the crew change on CP.the track speed is a mix of 25 and 40 mph with slower speeds thrown in to the mix.Bad track jointed rail.Just Rollin Down The Tracks
