	The Diamond River Valley Railway Company is a freelanced railroad based in the western US.  It features mostly Santa Fe, but occasionally the UP and SP with run through.  Designed to operate with a crew of 10-12 people it uses, Digitrax DCC, and some integration with JMRI for control.  Car Cards and Waybills control car movement while time table and train order is starting to sneak its way into operation sessions.
