Propane distributors are especially useful model railroad industries because prototype facilities can occupy relatively small or irregularly shaped properties alongside railroad rights-of-way. Bulk shipments can arrive in LPG tank cars, creating a logical destination for railroad switching operations, while trucks handle local deliveries. Similar storage and handling facilities can also be found near railroad shops, grain elevators, and many other industries.
