The asphalt transfer terminal featured in that article is here in my home town of Apex NC. I plan for it become a feature on my N-Scale layout one day. Unfortunately, it is surrounded by trees and barb-wire topped fences, otherwise I could get some pictures to share.

An easy way to get pictures is to use the Google or Altavista search engines, selecting the images option. From there it is just a matter of specifying the search criteria.

One that looks promising for a model train layout is at http://mpaq.com/Pics/Asphalt%20plant.jpg
