Hedberg Aggregates is loosely modeled on a facility in Mt. Marion, NY that I used to go by daily on the school bus. I never learned the name of the company but it used to have a couple dozen Pennsylvania, NYC, B&O, and PC open hoppers on its several sidings. It was notable at night for the glowing red aggregate dropping out of its large kilns. My model is a greatly scaled back version! The Hedberg name comes from a local Yellow Pages ad that caught my eye.
All is quiet at Hedberg's right now....
I recently added the litte brick structure to give the company an office. It has a loading dock for supplies so I have one more place to spot a boxcar and a tank for machine lubricant that let's me deliver the occasional tanker.
