G'day all,
At the risk of "muddying the waters" can I suggest a small version of MATCO RELOAD of Pompano Beach, Florida. By looking at every photo on their website:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.matcoreload.com/">http://www.matcoreload.com/</a><!-- m -->
plus the Bing Birds Eye view map you can see that they take just about every type of rollingstock imaginable. There is a spot for box car unloading into a large shed that can be identified when you rotate through all four points of the compass on the Birds Eye view.
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?q=1263+Hammondville+Rd%2c+33069&mkt=en-AU&FORM=BYFD">http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?q ... &FORM=BYFD</a><!-- m -->
Some folks may be interested in making an ISL just out of MATCO RELOAD, especially as the web site photos show open hoppers being unloaded directly onto the concrete embedded track for transfer to open storage areas., i.e. no unloading pit!
Regards,
Andrew G.
