Hi all, still working on my new layout plan. I've re-drawn it to simplify the
track plan and eliminate some switches as was suggested by group input and now
I'm trying to pick some plausible industries for the spurs and develop an
operating scenario. I've looked at some bing aerial photos to get ideas for
industries and found some very interesting possibilities, one especially
surprising was an industry that takes a couple of coil cars at a time into
their building for unloading. Also found a scrap iron dealer that has a 4 wheel
diesel critter moving gondolas around.
One thing I'm thinking about is the use of a scale on a shortline. Does
anyone know when a car would be required to be weighed and how it would be
accomplished on a shortline? Would the shortline need a scale on property or
could the interchanging class one railroad weigh the cars somewhere down the
line? Anyone familiar with this? ...Dave Branum
