Gary, what era are you modeling? Do you belong to the Santa Fe Railway Historical & Modeling Society? The current issue of the "Warbonnet" publication has an nice article on the sulpher unit trains from Rustler Springs, Texas to the port at Galveston. The Santa Fe hauled them as unit trains to Galveston where they were handed over to the S.P. to deliver to the old S.P. wharves. The last of the mines closed and the service was discontinued in 1999.
