The soft drink plant I had in mind is G&J Bottling (Pepsi) in Lexington, KY shown here: http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=qb7t7p7...orm=LMLTCC
It's an ideal model railroad size industry. The short spur can hold 4 corn syrup tank cars, but only two can be unloaded at any one time, thus the plant is switched nightly by R J Corman. I like the way that the main plant is well back from the spur and it would certainly be a perfect industry in the location where I currently have Lowes Lumber, but then I'd have to find a new destination for my fleet of Airslide and gravity covered hoppers, not to mention my bulkhead flats and double door box cars.
The one industry that receives three different types of cars/commodities that must be placed at specific spots provides far more operation; thus I decided not to model the soft drink plant.
