and industry (the runaround siding wasn’t visible from the
street view).
After a week of on-and-off Internet searching, I had gath-
ered enough information to start choosing what to model. I
know the shortline primarily serves the lumber industry. It
also serves a wood pellet manufacturer, steel beam fabrica-
tor, juice-based beverage manufacturer, animal feed and seeds
3. The budget will limit the structures used to model
industries for now. However, this covered hopper
unloading location does not require any buildings. To
the left of this photo the track ends in front of the steel
beam fabricator; 11 60’ car-lengths to the right is the
dirt ramp for a corrugated pipe manufacturer, and the
beginning of the siding.
