BTW I see you spotted both a tank car and reefer on the feedmill spur. Is that because there is a bulk oil distributor and a warehouse which ships out potatoes on the spur too? just curious.

Barry, I was looking at topographical survey from the late 50s during lunch today. I came upon Clermont topographic map and found out 4 very large oil tanks were located along the track, just in front of the grain elevator/feedmill. So, yes, it seems this particular coop was a relatively large oil distributor back in the days.

I'm seriously thinking about having this traffic handled at the team track. If we rebuild the peninsula next year, I could even manage to build the feedmill if the scene is large enough to handle it. I would probably reuse the structure and setting seen on my small home layout. The structure itself is inspired by Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré feedmill and elevator which is a nice little building. They also handled oil distribution on the same track in Ste-Anne. Clermont feedmill isn't a very interesting structure. Just a big hardware store with 4 silos and a surge bin. Using Ste-Anne's one as a prototype would use less space and be a good way to incorporate a nice structure from Côte-de-Beaupré area that we couldn't model because of lack of space.
