<P>[quote user="CSXFan"]Hey guys,<BR><BR>I'm in the process of designing my layout and I would like your opinion. I have room for only one spur leading into a grain elevator complex. I want to include grain loading, liquid fertilizer unloading, and bagged grain loading/unloading all in this one complex. Could at least 2 of these be included on one spur, or would this be a bad idea? Would the prototype (modern CSX) ever consider this? Thanks in advance.<BR><BR>[/quote]</P> <P>Put a passing track nearby or a house track where you can reach in, grab the cars, set it aside, go deeper and switch the end industry and put everything back where it was when you finish.</P> <P>It's not good to have everything on just one track. Try to offset one of the industries and run a second track to it a few inches alongside the orginal siding.</P>
