Your right that was a pretty generic question. I live in an area were today they dredge a lot of sand from large creeks and rivers. Some pump it, some dredge it with a crane that basically throws a basket in and pulls it back out. I was interested to know how they dredged sand from the rivers years ago and once they did how they put it on rail cars (for that matter what kind of cars) and hauled it to the different industrys that needed it. I know some goes to concrete but most around here goes to asphalt and fill sand for construction. I'm working on a plan for a new layout and I'm thinking about incorporatind a sand pit into my river, beside the swamp where my lumber company will be. Thanks.
