Ok, I did some search and found this: <br /> <br />http://www.geocities.com/welovepickles/ This site is the creator and credit cited for the information given here on this post. Intention is a brief overview of Pickles. <br /> <br />In 1659, Dutch farmers in New York grew cucumbers in what is now Brooklyn. These cukes were <br /> <br />sold to dealers who cured them in barrels and sold them from market stalls on Washington, Canal <br /> <br />and Fulton Streets. As it turns out, these pickle purveyors started the nation's commercial pickle <br /> <br />industry. <br /> <br />CUCUMBER - medium size, 30 <br /> <br />WINE VINEGAR 500 ml <br /> <br />REGULAR VINEGAR 500ml <br /> <br />SUGAR (WHITE) 100 gr <br /> <br />SALT 1/2 cup <br /> <br />JAR 500 ml, 8 of them <br /> <br />1 Wash and cut the cucumbers lengthwise (1.5 cm). <br />2 Cover the cucumbers with ice water and let stand overnight. <br />3 Drain and pack upright in clean jars (with a new seal lid). <br />4 Combine the vinegar and sugar with 2 cups of water in a pot, boil for 3 minutes, then add the <br /> <br />salt. <br />5 Pour over the cucumbers, leaving 1/2 centimetre head space. <br />6 Close the jars and process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes. <br /> <br />Now this is a recipie I will not bother to convert to truck or railroad size loads. I cannot add that high... <br /> <br />A pickle Factory will require Loads of... <br /> <br />Cucumber, Bread, Butter, Garlic, Gherkins etc (Produce or Grocery) Reefer and Boxcars <br />Wine Vinegar or Vinegar in Tank Cars. <br />Sugar in processed form from a refinery or Food Warehouse etc (Box cars and/or Covered Hoppers) <br />Loads of Kitchen supplies and Glass Pots and kettles etc with Stainless Steel or Aluminum from a tool and die works. <br />Some form of fuel... Coal, oil, kerosene, propane, wood etc etc etc in appropriate cars whatever you feel approprate. <br /> <br />Finally I suppose I can use the Heinz 57 car to ship the final product of a Pickle Factory to a Cannery. <br /> <br /> <br />If any of this is "wrong" or if it can be corrected with a better Ops Plan Im all ears. <br /> <br />Thanks for your time <br /> <br />Lee <br />
