QUOTE: Originally posted by ericboone I don't have any photos, but in Wyoming, MI, there is a dairy processor that I worked at that has plastic pellets (for milk jugs) delivered by covered hopper car. The great thing is the siding was actually a quarter mile from the plant. The siding was in a field with a single silo to store the pellets. The pellets were then trucked the short distance to the plant. This is a "big" industry that can be modeled in a small place. It always seems there are around four cars in the siding. Also, in Grand Rapids, MI, I've seen a similar set up in Hugart Yard (formerly Conrail, now NS) were cars were simply parked on a siding in the yard and the pellet load transfered to truck. There was no silo there.
