Currently I am staying at home to help raise my GF's child (she makes all the money now) but in my younger years I was blessed to work at 3 different places that used rail service: 1. Was Federal Warehouse in East Peoria, we got box cars of food products, washing machines etc. I remember unloading a train car full of cigerettes. 2. Luria Brothers, cars came in but didn't leave, well scrap did, we would take a torch and cut box cars, hoppers and cov hoppers for scrap. Before my time they did steam engines. 3. Midwest Solvents was a distillery, we got cov hoppers and tank cars, I loaded cov hoppers with feed, and at the gluten plant end we got airside hoppers of flour.
