I envision several traffic plans for my layout:
1. Freight goods and supplies for the town will be loads in and empties out., passengers in and some passengers out as well.
2. The factory is loads in-empties out and different loads-out. Raw materials and such will come in, and finished units will go out, but they will be specialized freight that has to be shipped on different rolling stock.
3. There will also be the occasional through train heading further into the mountains to serve other small communities, again loads in and empties out.
I envision a flow of loads, empties and finished loads flowing in and out of the town and the factory, with an occasional load going to the mine perhaps. Since the ore from the mine comes by aerial tramway, that portion of rail traffic is unnecessary.
