I used the map's Functions to shift the view several "Panes" over and decided that I am looking at a Dealership for Mobile Homes. You can see the extensions on the sides of some of these vehicles where people use them to gain extra interior space by "pushing" out when parked. The facility is totally fenced in with every vehicle onhand stored inside the fence line. I would imagine that there is no obvious way for the siloes that the hoppers are next to to transport material into the building. Therefore I decided that this is probably a Import, Export or COOP elevator where Grains or light products are bought and sold. There appears to be much plant growth near the one car being loaded at the base of the silos but no obvious Truck Wiegh Scales or even Hydralic End Dump Ramps. The type of vehicles (Cars) gathered at the office of the silos are farmer, pickups and other hard working type vehicles while you can observe that the cars parked at the dealership on it's property are sports cars and not commonly found in industry. These I think are customers or sales people who hav e made a nice living and can afford these nicer sport's cars. I dont see any kind of piping, conveyors or underground transits between the silos or the dealership. Therefore I decided that we are looking at two seperate businesses. The Silos certainly have access for big trucks as a semi driver I can visualize in my head that I can pull into one drive to the silo load or unload and pull out the other driveway without too much trouble. This is reinforced by large clear areas that are kept clear by employees parking vehicles AWAY from the drive way and particulary with the valubale moble homes being tucked far far away as possible from the silo operation while they await space to be freed up on the fenced and secure dealership property. I may come back to this picture later on and expand it to look for the sea. If this place is near a coast then it is export/import if this place is near a alot of FARMS then we are dealing with crops inbound and outbound. The trackage shows a straight several track storage yard next to the silo. There are no apparent spots along the back wall of the dealership ( for boxcars of parts etc) so that rules out a factory.
