L&N Industrial Rail Spur

Hi Ed,

The latest plan looks great with loads of operational interest.

I notice on the plan you have shown one spot on industry A and two spots on Industry B where there appears to be a faciltity for hopper cars to be unloaded by gravity,
presumably thru openings in the middle of the track and down into some sort of underground storage bunker?

Do you have any pics or examples of this type of hopper unloading facility? What kind of commodities, other than grain, are delivered by this method?

I'm interested in including something similar in my next project.

Thanks,

Mal
