Cameron Hamilton explained that the project involved the movement of a lot of material to create the four track siding being created to house the trackage that be part of the terminal's rail facility. The flat countryside West of Valparaiso needed to be raised to build up the track bed and as you can see in the bottom picture is the large borrow pit that was created to provide the fill for the siding. The diagram below illustrates the layout of the new terminal. South of the office building will be facilities to handle fertilizers and other agricultural products. The earthwork for these structures is now completed. | |
