Almost exactly three years ago I built a strip mine on my layout. It still is not completely finished,close but not 100%. I guess I should finish it.Here is the unfinished strip mine.

Don't pay attention to Mike,
it looks to me like the truck is going back empty, while all the cars are lined up to get loaded. Besides, I heard that the railroad owns that trucking line anyway..

They used to own it but it was not profitable so they sold it to the Jones family in Big Ugly. Think about it you might remember the Jones family.

I do remember something about " The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy" - - - -or was that an ancient song?

Must be a song. This is a "local" family that made the news paper in various weird ways.
