Default New Recycling Structure

I took some of my computer scrap down to the new Recyling place tuesday to cash it in & they are building this new 6 or 8 story high Crusher/Shredder on the back of their property. The owner told me to come back just before they close to get some better pictures. Here's what it looks like right now. This structure is south of me about 8 miles.
One of the guys out by the gate told me this is a 10 million dollar machine.

Probably Never. That thing takes up a lot of room.

The owner told me they have enough space between the mainline & the Crusher to install 2 sidings about 400 to 500 ft. long. It's real hard to get the RR around here to do anything that requires work. It only took them about 4 years to spray the weeds in the small yards & to replace a real bad Crossing on a main road.

Sounds just like the Broake & Howe Railroad Larry!

Great pics by the way.
