After several weeks of research here is the planned industries for my new 94/95 Slate Cree ISL.. These are based on real industries.
Tri-State Polymers. In plastic pellets and plasticizer. Out: empty covered hoppers and tank cars.
Pattons Distribution. In tobacco and alcohol beverages. Out: 50 and 60' boxcars.
Weston Manufacturing. In Steel coils and occasional empty gon . Out Empty coil and mill gon. A occasional load of production scrap in 50' gons.
Zimmers Frozen Foods. In meats and vegetables . Out: Empty 64' reefers.
Hunnicut Printing Corporation In rolls of paper and ink. Out: Empty 50' boxcars and tankcars.
Standard American Recyclers Inc. In scrap rubber and empty covered hoppers. Out: Empty 50' boxcars and covered hoppers of rubber graduals.
Considine Industries. In Carbon Black and a occasional empty 60' boxcar. Out Empty carbon black hoppers and occasional load of rubber automotive floor matts in 60' boxcars..
Mid State Tire Distribution. In automobile and truck tires in 50' boxcars. Out: Empty 50' boxcars.
Reliance Universal In canstock and empties. Out: Empty 50' and loaded 50' boxcars of food cans.
The Transload track is still in the planning stage and will include a lumber and home improvement company, structure steel shape distributor and a crush glass shipper.
The new Slate Creek will be 18" x 16'.. I plan to include a trailer drop lot, two street crossings-where's the fun if you don't block street crossings during switching moves?- and a three track yard for holding cars for Tri-State Polymers and Hunnicut Printing.
Slate Creek will be home to Summerset Ry, Slate Creek Rail and CR's Slate Street Industrial Lead which of course is fictional. I have several CR GP38-2s, 2 SD38s and a SD40-2. I might add NS Slate Road Industrial since I have two Atlas NS high hood GP38s..
Back on SSRy the owner a Mr. Thoron owns several locomotive lettered for SCL, Seaboard System and a C&O RS-1 all of these engines are stored serviceable and is used from time to time at his direction.
He also owns a Santa Fe 2-8-0 that sees service two or three times a year.. A steam locomotive crew is hired from a local steam powered museum. Mr. Thoron keeps his locomotives in a warehouse he owns that features two inside tracks. His long term plan is to build a three stall diesel house where the warehouse now stands. He also owns seven cabooses and a heavy weight observation that is stored on SCR.
