Best Interactive Industries for Tank Cars

[AdvancedApproach]

I've been searching the DLS and third party websites that can produce or consume products carried by Jointed Rail and RRMods tank cars to no success. There's just so many on the DLS but third party websites are a different story. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

You can use Multiple Industry new.

The "BI3" series of industries are worth a look as well.

Try these:

<kuid2:439337:105685:1> SAP_BI3_Chemicals
<kuid2:439337:105656:1> SAP_BI3_Ethanol_and_Biodiesel
<kuid2:439337:105409:4> SAP_BI3_Fuel

and

<kuid:439337:113721> SAP_Chemical_Plant_1_PBR

For how to use BI3 tracks see this tutorial of mine:

Keep in mind that you can generally add additional product to the queues of most tank cars. How to do this? See this tutorial of mine:

I never paid attention to these BI track since I had the original Trains tracks which were supposed to work. I have come to discover that the traditional "tracks" are not reliable. However, I see that there is not a BI for coal, my favorite commodity. I live in the "coal country" of Western PA. My grandfather was superintendent of mines for one of the several companies in the area. If coal is a BI problem will one of the other BI3's manage coal cars?

As an aside I have been building on your Maine Costal route for years. It is responsible for a lack of sleep at times.

If all you want is to load and unload coal then I would recommend you use the following which are much simpler then the BI3 Industry Tracks siunce they only deal with just one product:

<kuid2:439337:101033:4> Coal_Loader_Interactive_with_effects
<kuid2:439337:101008:4> Coal_Unloader_Interactive_with_effects

BTW thanks for the kind words and feedback!

Now to get back on topic for this thread.....
