    Sorry. Just an observation made. Not any attempt to impugn. Regardless of railroading, that much turnover is often a sign of a an unhealthy situation, and that is what I was wondering. :(

    A KCS stack train waits on the Macaroni Line for the Union Pacific Sunset Route to clear before pulling onto it to head towards Houston. Rosenberg, Texas on a cold, wet January day in 2012.

    Chicken feed. They trans-load to an elevator with a conveyor. Then load it from there into trucks.

    Somehow it feels strange having a location named "Soo Tower", but the actual tower is so long ago gone.....

    I just looked it up. The facility belongs to Cal-Maine Foods. They have a number of chicken egg farms in the area where all the feed goes to.

    You could model that scene and it would only cost you chicken feed. :)

    That's pretty inexpensive but what happens if you're only paid peanuts?:D

    Anyway, chicken feed or peanuts, one will never have enough to buy the farm...:confused:
