Also can't help with any distribution plant idea but I've been gathering info on mining salt here in New York. Azko (I think HighIron just had a typo there,) operated a few mines in NY I think, including the Restof mine south of Rochester, NY. When it collapsed in the 1990s it was the largest salt mine in North America & the second largest in the world. Here's an underground salt train photo: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~sls8y/stereo/mining.html The Cargill mine in Lansing NY is very active & is something I would be interested in incorporating in my layout someday, stretching the boundaries of the Adirondacks somewhat to include it. I'm going to have to take a trip out there I guess to look for info on operation & rail traffic in its early days (Early 1900s.) Here's some contemporary photos of Cargills Lansing mine: http://www.stargazettenews.com/PhotoGalleries/SaltMine/index.htm Wayne
