L&N Industrial Rail Spur

There two of them on eBay right now. One is up for auction and the other is a Buy it Now. Search the Walthers part number in title and description.

Thanks Mark. Guess I need to look around on eBay more than I do. May just order the Buy It now one, even though the price is higher then what Walther's advertises on sale and out of stock LOL.

Here are two variations of the track plan as I see it right now:

Version A - Which has a long structure on the front edge (Industry D) based on a Trinidad Benham processing plant. Not ideal, but if the structure is just slightly higher then a car and the track is spaced a couple of inches away from the structure, it's workable. Alternately, it could just be a dedicated trans-load track where the covered hoppers are off-loaded with conveyors to trucks and no structure required. Industry B would be a lumber dealer.    
Version B - Has Industry B as a soft drink bottler where tank cars are unloaded and Industry D then becomes strictly a trans-load/team track with a dock and ramp for lumber products and where covered hoppers would be off-loaded with conveyors to trucks.     Will work on re-laying the track this afternoon and after that, I'll be able to test out both variations. Really undecided right now as to which variation would work out the best. As Jack says, the trans-load/team track can provide for some occasional odd shipments, if desired; but the dedicated industry seems a bit more logical to me for an industrial spur. Decisions, decisions...
