...I've certainly said more than enough.

No way!  You always bring value to the discussion.  Glad you're here.

Supporting "Cacole's" post for the San Pedro and Southwestern Railroad; it serves Willcox, AZ with a fertilizer plant and a feed mill as farming and cattle operations are still a go here in the AZ (grains, corn, cotton, and alfalfa are grown in the southern parts of the state along the UP and Arizona and Eastern Lines). They also operate a transload site at Willcox and Benson with an industrial site at Casa Grande for newsprint and other boxcar loads. In the "high desert" of Northern Arizona, the Apache RR use to serve a recycled paper mill, a pig farm, and i think they are doing something with fracing sand now. In Flagstaff (granted mountain town) there is a small lumber yard that is rail served, an oil distro location, SCA tissue plant, Purina Dog Food plant, and a team track for mostly plastic pellets (use to also serve the beer distro warehouse).
