Rail to Road Aggregate Transfer Facility

Motley

OK since I've cut out the middle section of the benchwork, for easier access. Yes I dealt with the pop up holes for 3 years. Don't laugh.

Anyways, I've been reworking the outside mainline, that is done. Now I'm working on the two inside mainlines.

I've got some room on the right side for a small industry.

On the right side wall there (next to ext room). I will build the new Walthers kit they just released.

Its called Rail-to-Road Aggregate Transfer. Here http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-4036

Its used for fertilizers, sand, and even the fracturing sand used for the oil industry.

The rail cars used for this are the 4780 ton covered hoppers. I have 5 of them for this.

The covered hoppers dump the sand below the grated rails. And a conveyor transfers it up to the two storage silos.

Then the trucks pull under the silos, fill up the trailers, then the trucks deliver it to fertilizer and frac sanding company's.

Check this company out here, they build these facilities.

This is where it will be located.
