A warehouse with no name.

The 8 ft Battle Mountain section has now been bolted into it's place in the layout and the first of it's four industries is completed.

This first industry is just a shallow relief warehouse building with 4 track doors spaced for 50ft box cars.


I don't have a name for the business that occupies this building but here is the story.   There are a variety of clay like minerals with funny names are mined in this part of Nevada that are used in many products and processes.  The company that is located in this building receives some of these minerals by truck to make their products which are mostly shipped by rail.

This company makes one of the leading premium brands of cat litter which is packaged in 25 or 50 pound bags stacked on pallets and shipped in box cars to several distribution points around North America.    They also ship some of their product by truck but that is not modeled here.  This would be a good sized facility but only the railroad part of the warehouse building is represented on the layout.
