Pet Food Manufacturer

[FCIN]

Higgins Premium Pet Food looks like a good candidate for an industrial switching layout.

I found Higgins many months ago while looking for industrial areas and still consider it a possible industry for the layout. Certainly an interesting structure with multiple car spots. If you rotate the views in Bing, looking eastward you'll see two covered hoppers on spot and then looking westward you'll see one. You can certainly see all the detail you'd need to model this facility, even as a low relief structure. Some good views of Higgins can also been seen in Google street view.

Any similar small to medium size feed mill operation would be a good candidate for an ISL. We tend to think of feed mills as being industries you find in more rural areas, but Higgins is a good example of one located in a dense industrial area.
