Our sister railroad here in KS deals with a lot of agreagates loading both small dedicated, and individual rock cars and cement. The one here in Wichita loads cars for both the BN UP and Watco. They have variety of 4 bay hoppers they own plus they load out cement on a small spur with short air flow cars. They also load old flood unloading coal cars that are in 20 car sets. At other locations they load three bay hoppers with vibrator brackets that they take the hatches off of and load with sand. The place in Wichita is also taking in empty scrap gons that they are loading with receyled metals from demolition projects. Also all materials come in by rail from a quarry in SE KS and then is graded sorted and sold at the Wichita Facility.
