Higgins Premium Pet Food looks like a good candidate for an industrial switching layout. You can pick out the covered over grain/granular product unloading chute for covered hoppers. There are two spots for box cars, one of which has an angled platform to unload a box car located on the curve bringing the track from the switch back to parallel with the `main' track. A nice sized operation, giving me some good ideas. I could imagine one hopper or one boxcar being delivered every second day or so in the life of an
ISL.
Thanks for suggesting it Ed, Andrew G.
