A one industry railroad I often considered is a mill operation..
In empty boxcars,centerbeams,bulkhead flat cars and wood chip cars.
Out lumber and wood chips..
Locomotive: A EMD SW type switcher or a Alco switcher.
I figured 7-10 cars daily.
Milage 2 miles including mill track.
-------------------------------
I also thought of back dating to 1950 and it would look like this.
In: Empty boxcars,gons and flats.
Out lumber.
Locomotive..Either a 2 truck shay or a 0-6-0T.
Mileage 2 including mill trackage.
