Actually I was thinking of a cement plant. I meant to say limestone quarry when I just quickly typed gravel pit. <br />Is there a prototype that does this? I was just trying to come up with a reasonably plausible raison d'etre for my modern day shortline. Any suggestions on what limestone would be transported in? Open hoppers or covered? Would it be as larger stones or a finer powder? <br />My history for this shortline has it that the original limestone quarry adjacent to the cement plant dried up but a new one was found nearby that could keep the large cement plant open, so the existing short line had a new lease on life and is presently successful (what ficitonal model railroad isn't? [8D]). Thanks for your help guys.
