I used Rail Tycoon II and III to show a chart that is included with the computer game for a understandable chart of how industires work together. Obviously in real life the devil is in the details. My town of Falls Valley has a Grain and feed mill complete with facilities for unloading Boxcar and Covered Hopper grains. Some of this goes across to the StockYards where cattle are rested and fed before continuing the run to the packing plant. There is adequate water in this area for that. Other industrial support in the town includes a Icing plant for reefer cars and a electric/gas works facility that supports the area's need for grain drying and so forth. There is a freight house and a depot that requires small inflow of supplies and provisions and a out flow of passengers, mail and express. At the moment I am deciding if a sawmill or a sand and gravel dock should go into the remaining area in the corner. I may extend the town by 2 foot and 6 inches to make it all happen. There will be two more towns planned that have thier own industries and rely on Falls Valley's production and needs for thier survival. I think one will be a harbor and the other will be a foothills with a river. Between these 3 towns I think the railroad will have plenty of work to do.
