One industry Railroad

[steinjr]

Steve Sandifer of the Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society has some nice clinics on modeling railroad operations in connection with some industries at the atsfrr.net web site. Steve's home page on the web site: http://atsfrr.net/resources/Sandifer/Index.htm

In particular, these three operations clincs make good reading:

Stock car operations: http://atsfrr.net/resources/Sandifer/Cli.../Index.htm
Reefer operations: http://atsfrr.net/resources/Sandifer/Cli.../Index.htm
Packing house operations: http://atsfrr.net/resources/Sandifer/Cli.../Index.htm

May not be typical of your era or desired theme, but shows some of the complexity you could build into serving one industry.

Smile,
