This is a possible arrangement. I would like to have the truck unloading not hidden behind the elevator building but build a ramp with a grid located at the old road and get the grain from there via horizontal and vertical elevators into the silos (incl. dry, wet bin ind dryer).
I do not plan to use the shed Walthers supplies for rail car unloading. It is my understanding of the process that the small facilities like this one at the country site do ship only via rail (and street) but receive no grain other than from local farmers. Their purpose is to collect grain from the local farmers.

railohio, thank you for the update. That will make it even more simple to have a general warehouse operation with boxcars in place. I did read on the web side of Napoleon about the famous Campbell soup factory. Looks like it is not rail served at all
