<p>I won't get into prototype specifics, but here's a quick summary of what traffic my freelanced New Hampshire railroad, the <a href="http://sites.google.com/a/trahans.net/wrs/" mce_href="http://sites.google.com/a/trahans.net/wrs/">White River Southern Railroad</a> hauls, and for what industry.</p><ul><li>Boxcars for Hyce Machinery and the occasional car for interchange to a connecting shortline.</li><li>Reefers for a food company, via an interchange.</li><li>Grain hoppers for the same food company.</li><li>Airslide hoppers for the same food company.</li><li>Mill gondola for large steel pieces, via an interchange.<br></li><li>Gondolas; scrap metal from Kimball Scrap, and pulpwood from Delery Pulpwood & Lumber</li><li>Double-door boxcars to a farm/construction equipment dealer, via the Mascoma Transfer Facility (modern name for a team track)</li><li>Cement hoppers from LeBlanc Cement.</li><li>Open-top hoppers from Formanek Gravel Co. I hope to eventually run a solid unit train of these. For those New Englanders, think of the Boston Sand & Gravel Company near North Station and it's trains of New Hampshire Northern (NHN) gravel hoppers.<br></li></ul>
