I think you can look for Azio salt near Seneca Falls New York. I used to haul salt out of there. <br /> <br />The mine was directly below us and the lake and was quite big. The salt would be brought up and bagged. The bags stacked in pallets, wrapped and forklifted into your trailer. <br /> <br />Another way to haul salt was with dump trailers. These went to states that needed to stock pile salt for the winter plowing and salting. <br /> <br />A third way was to create a liquid saline and tank it to who ever wanted it. <br /> <br />In railroading you can use Boxcars, Covered Hoppers and Tank to haul the salt. Very little was brought in except machines and supplies occasionally. I believe they have been mining salt at the location I described for quite some time. When the machines wore out they would just abandon it rather than haul it out of the mine. <br /> <br />I dont know about "Salt Distribution Center" the stuff is usually on pallets in bags and got sent to various places along with the other general freight. Warehouses and places that handles freight probably had this stuff on hand going to the final customer.
