Your (forum) opinion on the following greatly appreciated:

One thing I felt missing from this route was the Grain industry and I wanted to have Looooonng units of covered hoppers much like the hoppers the coal mines can have. Below is the one spot I think I can pull off what I wanted. Any feedback welcomed on thoughts about having this grain elevator added....it would have an additional passing siding for the shed:

If anyone can pull it off RH, you can. It is GREAT to see the all-time detail champion back! Is there room for a road for grain trucks hauling in from the grain fields to unload? I am guessing that would need to be on the opposite side of the silos from the tracks...
 
Start small the saying goes, with that being said....I figured a nice complimentary business next to the lumbe yard would be a local grain elevator:

Decided to switch the side for the semi trailer grain chute and add a overhead door:

Here ya go, road added to give illusion that it follows over the mountain......

First the original area before being updated. (Notice placement of office building and house on right side above tracks off to the right

Peabody to Parker test run:

A CSX B30-7W Road Number# 5528, takes a cut of empty covered hoppers from the newly installed grain elevator on the outskirts of Peabody to be loaded at the updated Parker area with its recently installed "Large" grain elevator. Added a field by the run down house in Parker with a wooden fence since previous video and other minor details...

Next up:

The morning crew shift at Parker Tipple finishes their duties loading several hoppers early. Their reward, waiting for 2 CSX trains to pass by while in the cabs of their RPPX GP-9s.
A bio-fuel tanker train pulled by a CSX SD60M and SD70M along with an AC4400CW followed by a priority manifest freight with a Patched CSX SD40-2 in the lead.Enjoy the new sites I added at Peabody such as the lumber yard and grain elevator along with a new passenger station.At Richmond you will see new warehouses, strip malls, fast food joints and the Break Thru Beverage Distributors. You will also find a new CSX MOW Truck maintenance shed along with other details including an updated city.
