Coal-fired generating plants provide excellent operating potential for a model railroad because they require a steady supply of fuel. Loaded coal trains can arrive at Metro Power & Light while empty cars are returned for another load, creating regular freight movements and a reason to operate dedicated unit trains. The structure's tall smokestack and industrial profile also make it a natural landmark for a large modern industrial district.
