Help,

I would like to model the cement plants in and around Alsen NY circa 1955. I know there were three plants but what I cant quite seem to get any answers to is how the raw materials came in and the cement went out ie did they back hall the coal. shale, and gypsum from Kingston on a local or did it come directly from Selkirk. Also can anyone help me with the following, what type of switcher did the Alsen Cement Co. have during this time and was there a local based in Alsen. Any info wpuld be helpfull
