The number of plastic pellet hoppers (a car not made in N-scale!) is becoming enourmous in Tussa. They are light grey and say "Plastic Pellet Loading Only" on the sides, which makes it easy to figure out what they carry.
We get a large amount of tankcar traffic too. Right now, inter-modal traffic is down, and auto-racks are pretty scarce. Summer wheat traffic has passed here, so not as many grain trains either. Coil steel cars (could we get some more modern versions???) are quite common, as well as gons and flats with heavy steel plate in them. "Tonka Toy's" on flatcars (partly assembled Cat equiptment) are also common loads. I have no idea why, but we always get Ford F-350/450/550 truck frames stacked 20 high coming thru here too. Don't know if they're coming or going to Mexico. ???
