Hello All,
I don't get on here as often as I'd like, thought I'd make up for it.
Friends and I were discussing what the best / busiest industry to model would be. One that recieves the greatest variety of cars and loads.
At the top of our list was a pulp and paper mill which recieves: pulp wood on flats and gondolas (machinery too), coal in open hoppers, chemical in tank cars and covered hoppers, recycled paper in boxcars, and wood chips in, well... woodchip cars. Loads of paper out in boxcars of course
Second would be a sugar refinery which recieves: sugar beets in gondolas, coal in open hoppers, limestone also in open hoppers, chemicals in tankcars, machinery on flats.
Sugar is shipped out in covered hoppers and airslides, syrup in tankcars, mash in gondolas.
Third was a mixture of undecided industries.
I'm sure I'm missing something on the inbound / outbound list...
Any thoughts?
