My railroad, the Almeda Terminal and Gulf, is a 1970's shortline that is superficially backed by Santa Fe, mostly for motive power. I am envisioning that the maintenance would be less than perfect, and the entire layout will essentially be dirty gritty greasy industrial scenes - trash and junk and grime and mess everywhere, poorly maintained right of ways, weeds and bushs in the ditches, all that sort of stuff. So some ballast on the bridge walkways would not be out of place.
Looks like the poll is running two to one in favor of spilling, so it looks like that is where we are heading. I appreciate the great comments and support, and the voting. Like I said, I just can't decide how I want it, so all the input was a valuable thing in pushing me to make a decision.
And a huge thanks to BIG BLUE and everyone who took time to reply on this matter.
