I'm not sure I fully understand this new term "Proto-freelance" so I voted freelance, though I freelance based on various prototypical operations, standards, concepts, and situations. Maybe someone could provide a proper definition for those of wondering?
Proto-freelancing or proto-lancing (which I think is the better term, but the first one has more recognition) is the concept where you make your own freelance railroad, but it's strongly modeled after a prototype. Tony Koester's Allegheny Midland is a proto-freelance, based upon the Nickel Plate road.
