Roster

   The locomotive roster has been split into two sections. One is for the locomotives currently operating on the TC&W while the other is an all-time roster showing every engine to be owned/leased by the TC&W.
   The TC&W's entire locomotive fleet is powered with Caterpillar prime movers with the exception of the two GP10s. There is also the three slugs, two of which are stored, and the 1503 which is also stored.
   Every engine is painted in the maroon and gold colors of the University of Minnesota except for the three stored engines, TCWR 1206 and TCWR 3516. The 1503 stills wears the READING AND NOTHERN paint with the name crossed out. The two stored slugs, RRVW 201 and NS 9830, are painted in RRVW black and NS respectively. The TCWR 1206 wears the red and black paint of Dakota Rail. The TCWR 3516 is painted in the Generation II paint scheme.
   I plan on also including a locomotive roster for the sister railroad RRV&W in the future. I hope to also post a rolling stock roster but at this time I do not have all the information (ORER).
