A cement factory is a huge undertaking to model but a cement distributor is
fairly small and could be combined with a redi-mix plant next door so you could
add sand and gravel in open hoppers.
I first saw the 70 ton hoppers around 1957 when they were almost new and were
some of the first freight cars to sport roller bearing trucks on the
branchline.For a while the cement plant shipped both cement bagged in boxcars
and bulk in the hoppers but soon the boxcars were eliminated....daveBranum
