<p>On my old layout I had a cat food plant named after my late feline friend Eyore.</p> <p>[IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/IMG_0719.jpg[/IMG]</p> <p>My current layout has a bakery that primarily produces chocolate-chip cookies. Inbound loads include boxcars of chocolate chips, airslide hoppers of sugar, tank cars of corn syrup, and covered hoppers of flour and grain.</p> <p>[img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f4JTP8BCkYg/Tl_jj1vWRKI/AAAAAAAAAN8/TLFK29z-1LY/s1600/IMG_4992.jpg[/img]</p> <p>Except for an unknown business in West Berlin that I converted to a lumberyard, the rest of the industries on my current layout are true to the prototype within the time frame of Google Earth. (Stone Inc's facility was abandoned recently enough for the old building, siding, and loaded gons to show up on an overhead view)</p> <p>- Brox Industries, hot-mix plant at Marlborough Junction, Mass.<br />- Stone Inc, stone cutting business that produces (produced?) granite countertops, also at the above location.<br />- William Reisner Corporation, a scrapyard and recycling facility in Clinton, Mass. Track arrangement is prototypical (switchback!) except my version of it scraps rail equipment.</p>
