There are former main lines that have been reduced to branch lines and industrial spurs. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad (later Pennsylvania RR) became a 1.1 mile short line called the Kendallville Terminal Railway. The old Reading and Columbia Branch became 2 short lines, the Landisville RR and the Lancaster Northern Railroad.

The Kendallville Terminal serves a Kraft marshmallow plant and a road salt facility. I came up with a car loading scenario for a fictional marshmallow company called the Squarepuff Marshmallow Corporation in another thread at the bottom of page 9 http://bigbluetrains.com/forum/viewtopic...&start=120. If you include delivery of GERN Flux, your marshmallows will be 3% fluffier.
