Track plan simplified
#1
Been sick all week and had lots of time on my hands so i decided to see what my plan would look like if I simplified it some.
In the first scenario using the original plan as a guide I removed both tracks at the food distributor and pallet factory making them both
truck served. Lumber is still brought in by rail and then transferred to trucks. I also removed the track just above the coal dealer track. I realize that with this
change I give up the use of boxcars and reefers at food dist.

In this next scenario,I left one food dist. track in place which lets me use boxcars and reefers and as described above the other tracks are still removed.

To tell you the truth,I like both changes and if I were to make one of them it would depend on if I wanted more or less switching,but the more I think about it I would probably opt for keeping the
food dist. rail served.
Just some ideas for possible changes. Would like to hear some of your thoughts. Popcornbeer
