Working rail roads and their tracks.

Ore or pellet cars are small. Seems its to fit over dock pockets or some mechanical reason for that.

The lower weight ore jennies are designed to fit over the dump pockets that fill the lake frieghter's cargo hatches specific width
as a standard hopper car with its belly dump doors cannot be dumped on the ore docks from one side.

I stated that a few pages back.

Same basic 1880's locomotive with options and finishes as ordered by different railroads.

That is awesome. A very unique forestry project that has a railroad adjacent. In the 1880-1940s most of the timber in AZ and NM was hauled on narrow gauge railroads just like this one. But of course the rails were removed once trucks were capable of this task. Many of the current woods roads are built on old rail beds.

Wow, look at all that pollution.
I bet those plants will be closed and gone soon if things keep going the way they are going in this country.

Paper mills are closing all around this country due to less demand in the digital age. There are very few newsprint mills remaining for obvious reasons. But I guess the plants that make cardboard box linerboard are safe as long as Amazon exists.
