Building the Potomac Line

Looks like you got the makings of a major urban layout.

I hope so. I want the layout to look like the railroad and the streets are squeezed in, not unlike some areas of some major Northeastern cities.

Cold storage was a fairly common business back then I think, of course you would need some refridgerated boxcars. A transfer wharehouse is another possibility. Meat packing, bottling or electrical supply????

What exactly would a transfer warehouse do? Is that for transferring freight from railroad cars to over the road trucks?
