So this is what I have planned out so far.
I'm stuck on where I should place some industries. I was thinking I would place one near the yard and two more near each loop, but I'm just not sure what would look right. I was thinking about doing a farmers co op grain elevator on one side, with a town on the other with a factory/warehouse. Thoughts?
Jake: Your house tracks (team tracks) can have a receiving/shipping warehouse and/or a freight station, for example. Real world LIRR examples here: http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/Freight%20House/freight%20house.htm This freight station at Floral Park, NY is a modelers delight with all the LCL (less than carload) freight on the loading dock!
