Not wanting to start a new topic since it is about the exact same industry (Granite Quarry, San Diego County),
Would there be a minimum distance from mainline where it would make sense (given selective compression) to have the quarry pit starting?
My idea is to have 1 siding ( a few inches away from the mainline) for loading dimensional granite and boulders on flats and gons using a traveling crane. At a small distance from the siding i would have the quarry pit starting to show, with a small slice of it visible and a couple of cranes which where used for lifting the granite from the pit.
