Many parts of this country is bounded by rivers before the rails came. When the two meet is a wonderful marriage. I remember that the B and O had a cross harbor (ok not a river) operation with Reefers of Bananas. Louisville Ky had several riverside docks for heavy industry as did Charleston WVa. I see nothing wrong with having riverboats for cargo and frieght at a railhead, as a model industry for traffic sources it is fantasic and a break from the usual diecast vehicles and paper houses. <br /> <br />I myself am looking for a frieghter and 1/80 may be a bit inclined to simply place one as a dock backdrop. Those things are HUGE.
