And another set before I get back to work......

Update: Fixing up and making adjustments to propane distribution facility and adding details such as signs, light posts etc..before adding any more structures........and added last ATLS crossing signal which brings them up to 6 sets now I believe.
Also planning on what the last building/industry will be to add. Might go with the lumberyard that's showing are something else.............

Starting with the top pic, added a fence and some lights to the MT&T warehouse ....Also street lights added. Next 3 pix added lights and flowers as well as old street lights for the path behind the Unity warehouses. Pallets, oil drums and lights Then added the warehouse above with semi trucks.

Redid the propane facility making the roads fit better and moving the office forward and line the propane tanks up. Added lights to the street and facility along with some "Do Not Enter" signs and a stop sign also placed "tank" mats under the propane tanks.

So with this "expanded" section, you now have an additional rail and truck serviced warehouse (MT&T in the lower right hand side), then the large plant/distribution center with storage tanks to receive corn syrup and a 3 track siding for outgoing finished goods. I also added a lumber yard along with the previous added ADM grain elevator storage silo siding that began the expansion.

A total of 6 ATLS crossings, 2 small highly detailed towns, a functional operating block signal system, a main BNSF Loco facility with a freight yard next to it.

Near the ADM elevator are the Mid America and Blaine County Co-op elevators with Corn Products International which is a small plant that uses corn syrup to produce sweetners in foods that can be shipped by boxcar or truck.

On the other side of them is the original Cargill (Grain Corp) processing plant with its corn syrup production tanker siding, covered hopper unloading shed and a boxcar siding with a small freight yard attached with a nearby former BN single loco servicing siding. Also a feed mill with rail access and grain/feed storage silos attached on the opposite side of the small yard can be found.

On the next section is a Feed supply/farm with John Deere dealership . Located on its opposite side is another ADM Elevator and a Corn Products International Corn Syrup storage facility with truck and rail access plus a freight transfer warehouse.

All this adds up to a lot of prototypical operations with interdependent industries servicing a good mix of products. The added wye by the lumber yard helps with this area to have locos redirected as needed.

This layout can easily handle 200+ freight cars and numerous locos.

A short video to view the new expansion:

It's still morning as a crew shift change begins a little late taking their BNSF GP38-2 #2293 from the small servicing siding at Pioneer to pick up some empty corn syrup tankers destined to be refilled at the Corn Products International storage facility.

Please set resolution to 1080p for best viewing results........Enjoy !!!

So with the issue with Host N Post wiping out previous postings I will be adding some previous pix for those not familiar with my Pioneer X starting with the town of Pioneer:

Also do a search on DLS for "corn" in the rolling stock category to get the corn syrup tankers (ADM/Cargill)

Thanks for all the links. I've found a number of results on the DLS for the corn syrup tankers, though, and am not sure if any or which of them is correct:
