Does anyone know of any web sites that have info on industries that railroads served? Things like pictures, type and amount of frieght cars used, plant layouts.
I ran a search for grain elevators and got a lot of sites for old grain elevators with a lot of info and pictures.
No pictures, but this site might be of interest to you. It lists copies of the SIG newesletter for sale.[:)]
Railroad Industries SIG - This SIG concentrates on developing a deeper understanding of the history and operations of the industries that are served by the railroads. This information helps to understand and replicate prototypical operation on model railroads and to construct prototypically accurate models. The SIG publishes a quarterly newsletter, Lineside.For further information consult:
