For the rear Industry I had provisioned for a Trujillo type Industry but would consider the following changes and Industries in its place:

1. International Paper - Just Boxcars but could make for some good switching out of old cars and re-spotting

2. MPP Manufactured Packaging Products (Actually in Fulerton) - Boxcars and a something to fill the silo, probably corn syrup or starch as an alternate car.

3. General News Print

4. Nor Cal Beverage (box cars and a tank cars but not sure how id model it as its a huge facility with both of these sites apart from each other)

JB Veneer would still be lumber but renamed to an appropriate local company (there are a few of these to choose from)

1. Reel Lumber Services - Which is a fantastic site to model, very unique and has buildings along the track each side of the street running on E Santa Ana Street. Notice that all the buildings in the pic below are all Reel Lumber. Honestly one of the very coolest industries I have seen and was definitely rail served at some point.

2. A few other options all very similar in most locations, same look with cool roof details on some - good for a freelance.

If you follow East Santa Ana Street East you will find this:

MPC Foods - Also an interesting building and Industry
[attachment=25697]

If you look along the line north you will find a lot more interesting stuff up to Fullerton. West fo Reel Lumber are some very cool ex rail served buildings too which could be my NRSI prototypes.

Not sure what this was, now a bakery/atrisan beard cafe but it has a cool roof and structure with ivy all over the eastern walls... 10 points for anoyne wh can find out what it was when it was rail served.

The image of chandler lumber az looks like there's not much room for fork lifts to maneuver, I think that topic was brought up in this thread.
Rscott417 I agree but I think you underestimate how tight an area they can work in. We have a forklift at work and they can turn on a dime. The biggest limit is the width of the actual load they are removing or taking off.

This video isn't unloading lumber from a centerbeam but still might be of interest

This photo kills a myth that's been circulating for several years "They don't ship lumber in boxcars any more".

I operated a forklift for several years before my heart attack.. Those things turn on a dime and give you some change back..They are designed to work in tight areas like unloading a boxcar or between storage racks in a warehouse.
I don't know why you guys think I don't understand the maneuverability of a fork lift, sswup asked on page 6 about clearance on the sides of bulkheads and Centerbeams. I answered his question an I'm using his image as proof they don't need a lot of space. Also brakie, the video I posted in my response on page 6 is of a forklift unloading lumber from a boxcar.

For some reason I didn't watch that video..At any rate can we be called myth busters? Goldth

I have seen two forklifts(one on each side) unloading a centerbeam talk about teamwork.
Thanks Rscott417, I think I misunderstood you, thought you were saying one needs more room....my bad. Silly how tight things look but there is always a prototype somewhere that proves a though.
