Silicon Valley Lines: Layout Tour - Jacksonville
Jacksonville continues around the lower level, and features a gravel pit, grain elevators, Kaw Valley Plastics, and a coal dock. As you can probably guess from those industries, most of SVL's hopper cars tend to spend a fair amount of their useful lives either being picked up or set out in this area. A large center passing track is also provided here to allow passenger trains to get by slow moving freights or locals. This area was once part of the previous SVL modular layout.
