A bakery? It could take in boxcars of ingredients and ship out what it bakes, It could take in HFCS for the sweets it produces and it could take in Hoppers of flour.

That's a possibility, but not sure what they'd be receiving in box cars other than maybe packaging materials (I'm thinking in the modern era here). Probably wouldn't ship out much in box cars either, but is possible. Big drawback here for me is that unless they are producing their own flour from bulk wheat, etc., flour is shipped in AirSlide or other type pneumatic/pressure differential discharge covered hoppers and I don't have any!!

Maybe I need to look at the ingredients of some Frito-Lay products and see what they make that might fit with my car fleet...

As I mention I have a Pillsbury batch plant.Process flour will arrive in Pillsbury covered hoppers,cartons,and 100 pound bags of various flavorings(chocolate,cherry,blueberry etc) will arrive in boxcars and sugar arrives in covered hoppers.Outbound shipments is truck to various grocery distributors.

I like the idea of a potato chip manufacturer since potatoes can arrive in boxcars.
