Of course me being different I would add shipping doors for boxcars. Wink
Larry;
Sort of thought about that myself - at least one box car spot and room to unload a couple of covered hoppers. I prefer my railroad customers ship and receive by rail even if they don't in reality! But there are two facilities across the track that would spot box cars.

The more I look at that particular industrial spur the more I think about making the end of my ISL similar to that. Got to thinking about the rail to truck transfer across the track from it - good place for using more box cars!!! Only thing is, I'm not sure about having a structure - higher than a box car - located on the front edge of the layout.

Potential problems I can see are you couldn't see what was on spot behind the building and it would be difficult to uncouple cars there too, as I manually uncouple all my cars. Any thoughts on placing a structure at the benchwork edge like that?
