Ed the three main customers are TQW [the warehouse], the breakfast cereal plant is Hodgson Mill and the 'cement company' Mid Illinois Concrete. That leaves Harlan Bakeries in the former Krispy Kreme Manufacturing and Distribution Plant as the soon to be new customer.
Just to clarify a point Mid Illinois Concrete is a ready mix concrete batching plant business with several locations nearby the EFRR unloading pit. It is not a 'cement company' producing cement, but rather an end user of cement to make CONCRETE. Cement is to Concrete, like yeast is to bread. You wouldnt call a loaf of bread, a loaf of yeast, would do you? So why call a concrete batching plant, a cement plant when they are two entirely different businesses and processes.
The whole cement/concrete thing is just something which really bugs me.
As for the track plan, I am still working on trying to fit as much of the EFRR in my bedroom as I can, and still have a useable bedroom if at all possible. Plus I am renting, so things need to be easily relocatable as well as not fixed to the walls.
Thanks also for your interest, it helps keep me focussed.
