I have started to complete the C. Reiss Coal Co. ramp & structures for this business in the Ashland Industrial Area on my HO scale CNW - Peninsula Div layout. The first pictures are of the ramp scenery base lead up to the coal trestle.

Foam in place:

The invisible railroad

Those see through buildings are really neat. Now we know what the invisible man would have done if he was a model railroader. Just kidding, the ramp and base areas as well as the trestle look like they are well done, not to steep, and the base to build on will keep things nice and level and allow you to blend it into the layout nicely.
