Are Cement Mixing Plants Served by Rail?

I have been to many cement plants in the east and to a few in the south. <br /> <br />I encourage you to look at the availible space and fit what elements you want in it best. <br /> <br />Dont worry if one plant is like a specific area or protoypical. <br /> <br />The last plant I worked at no longer exists as it has literally been picked up and moved to a better location closer to new construction leaving behind a pad that was added on as needed over the years. <br /> <br />Dont forget a green water pond, waste concrete and excess material is dumped in there daily by ready mix trucks and bin cleaning dozers. <br /> <br />The dozer usually has to climb into the pond to remove very large masses which otherwise would cause the water to overflow. <br /> <br />Also dont forget a tanker or two of acid or even a boxcar with barrels of lube, grease and perhaps bags of fibers which is used in the mixer to make a stronger product. <br /> <br />The other posters have everything pretty much covered. <br /> <br />
