L&N Industrial Rail Spur

Larry;

That sounds about like what I'm looking at doing. Two or three main industries and a transload/team track with push/pull operation. I'm a firm believer in the "less is more" concept, so it all boils down to picking out the right industries and trying to make the track plan look a little interesting without over doing it. Probably just something like Lance M's Palmetto Spur, but with one additional spur and not so straight looking. Lot of potential operation in a simple plan like that.

Got to have plenty of box car spots and a believable destination for the tank cars and a few covered hoppers. I'm looking at a long open dock type warehouse for the box car traffic and the transload/team track for tank cars and covered hoppers. Some other equipment I have, such as my fleet of Airslide hoppers and corn syrup tanks, may or may not get used depending on what other industries I want to try and include.

Main issue for me right now, is just getting motivated again to work on it!
