I like the idea of a potato chip manufacturer since potatoes can arrive in boxcars.
I just posted a thread about another really interesting industry that I located and perfect for an ISL. http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic...=24&t=3731 and not your run of mill type industry too! So at this point in the planning process, I'll probably just stay with the Temple-Inland and Coca-Cola facilities on the plan. Heck, the Coca-Cola plant could also be just a HFCS transfer facility, although such facilities usually spot far more cars at any one time then I'd want to on my layout.

As noted in the thread, there are also two nice model railroad size facilities right across the track from this one - sort of a bonus!

Any way, back to doing some more layout plan refining!
