Iowa & Rambles Catland Flyer Passenger Pack

Hello Hello Welcome back for another episode of The Huber Show! I am your HOOOOST Mark Huber and Today wWe are going to discuss the Iowa and Rambles Catland Flyer, This is a new Fictional Railroad of mine, I will start uploading more, and with that, let's get into the Iowa And Rambles Catland Flyer.


===HISTORY===


The Catland Flyer was Inaugurated in 1902 with Mikado's and wooden coaches, before the heavyweights, the cars we're very uncomfortable, and it was a rough ride on the rails, The train runs from New York, To Birmingham, To Galveston, And eventually running into Chicago, After Arriving, The train also heads toward the west coast, all the way to Topeka City, Nevada. There was no way to get from New York to Nevada on one train trip at the time, so once this train was inaugurated, It had been a big deal despite the rough ride, the 1920s rolled along and Heavyweights started to show up, and larger power was being introduced. By 1926, the fleet had resorted to Heavyweights and 4-4-2 Atlantics, The train was really successful for a few years! And Untill it wasnt....


===THE GREAT DEPRESSION===

The Great Depression hit. And soon the train had started to operate less frequently untill it didnt run anymore, in 1936, the I&R Declared Bankruptcy in the 59th Chapter of Bankruptcy Acts. In 1938 the I&R Pulled out of bankruptcy and started running the trains again, more frequent than before, It had only been a Weekend Train, but after 1938, it was a daily train, 4 Trains, Every Day. By 1941 Everything seemed normal, the stock market had stabilized, everything looked great! Untill....


===WWII===

World War 2 happened by 1941. Right after the Great Depression, Being the Economic Boom for most railroads, for the I&R, all passenger trains had to be shut down due to rising freight traffic to help with the war efforts against everyone else. Once WWII was over, Things went back to normal, in the 50s and 60s the train had gotton new streamlined passenger cars and the Popular E-units, featured in this pack, untill one day in the 1970s, another challenger had entered the arena..



===AMTRAK DAYS===

Amtrak had inaugurated in May 1st, 1971, and tried to buy the Catland Flyer out, but I&R kept saying no as it was giving them lots of money and it was not difficult to operate. And this argument went back and forth untill settled by law in 1980, this only made the I&R run trains MORE Frequently, 8 Trains Per Day, instead of the usual 4. Making the train even MORE popular than it already was, even though cars and planes existed, people liked the I&R's Catland Flyer, and continued to use it for vacations, specifically because It goes through Utah's Red Rocks. a national landmark in Utah.


===PRESENT DAY===

The Iowa & Rambles continues to operate this beast every single day, 8 trains per day, the CV&V is looking to merge with the I&R and has plans to keep the Catland flyer running, as it's still pulled by E-units, and streamlined passenger cars, one of 3 trains to be ran by E-units in 2024, Those being the NT&V Panamawhatan, the TMEP Coast Starlight, and the Catland Flyer. The train is still successful and makes the I&R an incredible amount of money, around 100,000 Bucks per day.
