It is amazing how far they go west (e.g. all over Texas and even into NM). It must be a hard job to run a farm in an area where most agriculture business is ranch business. They got the sun for free and have plenty of water at some places at west Texas. Everything else is done with sprinkler and fertilizer.
But I did also do a small step backwards this morning. The two bins and the conveyor have been removed. They are too much and did not match into the skyline and were out of proportion.

However, there is still a chance to go Mid-West. But that would require to run my Noch Grass Master and get lots of green on the sand.... I have the wonderful book "Wheat Lines and Super Freight, Santa Fe in Color Series Volume 2". It covers mainly Kansas and is all about trains and elevators.
ps. six weeks to go to give you a call
