Hi my name is Scotty and I can help you with the train stuff if needed and been going too the Strasburg railroad since i was one, so i understand the history and behind the scenes operations. One of the things i noticed was the grain west silo was placed on top of the the Pennsylvania railroad museum. if your looking to do a sell point with the railroad IRL and name it (Strasburg Rail company) they move a lot of grain every year then interchange at leman place with N.S . The trucks are unloaded in the railyard at Strasburg's railyard then loaded into hoppers via a auger mostly wheat and corn sometimes even Tabaco, barley and soybeans plus lumber beams, and i will insert a pic where they unload for the sell point so you can better understand and add it and move the grain silo. also have drawn where the truck route would be usually for the company if decided to add more detail but do move the auger occasionally for sometimes better unloading due to circumstances. if you'd like more info and pics id be happy to help and you can add my discord: "us_army_88m"

Of course its not a problem, if you wanna add a rent a train it would make sense currently, because about two years ago they just spent over two mil on a brand new yard all the way down at the end of the line at Paradise so what you could do is when the player goes towards the end of the map it reacts like the train on the Hutan Pantai (East Asia) Map and disappears then sells the product so you could either add sell points right there or can let players rent a train and drive it and load the freight themselves. I've seen someone model a CN diesel locomotive on a Canadian map and gave players the ability to drive it and load the cars so I guess fs25 has allowed too model the trains in now, so you could model N&W 475 4-8-0 Mastodon (which i have sounds for both locos) or great western #90 2-10-0 decapod that's the most powerful locomotive on there roster. then have American grain cars on it i will have a link on the bottom to one of them working so you can understand the type of loads and have there link to there freight operations also yes they use the steam locomotive over there diesel (SW-1) #8618 locomotive when the tonnage gets too great. Also you could add tobacco if a mod comes out and make it as a lucrative crop, the Amish grow it there a lot.
