Gravel Pit Tracks

Plan looks good other than the track being parallel to the wall.  Here are photos of Meshberger Brothers stone quarry located in Lynn Grove Indiana. The photos were taken in 2005 so the structure can be used from the steam era to to modern day service.  While it never had rail service, all you would have to do is to raise the foundation up to clear the rolling stock.  Hope this gives you some inspiration.

Good Luck

  The plant processes 3 different products. Washed sand is loaded from the silo,washed 1 1/2 inch minus from the hopper next to the switcher, and 3 inch washed rip rap/ballast from the hoppers being switched. Sand and gravel plants can be designed to process any sized product you can think of. Each size of product would need its own load out facility. This can be right out of the plant via a hopper or a stockpile and loaded with loaders or conveyors. How you load out would determine the track arrangement.
