Industrial sand moves by rail for use in a variety of manufacturing and energy applications, making facilities like Glacier Industrial Sands a natural destination for covered hopper traffic. Walthers designed the kit to represent a contemporary operation where material arriving by truck can be processed and transferred into railcars for shipment. It can stand alone as a major trackside industry or become part of a larger aggregate, transload, or heavy industrial complex.
