Thanks Jim, Yes we had sugar beet traffic at one time. Sugar beets were grown on a large acreage for Holly Sugar which had a refinery in Hereford, TX. As far as I know, all the traffic was handled by the Santa Fe. Plant disease, in the form of persistent soil viruses, ended sugar beet production in the early 1990s. The Holly refinery lasted longer into the early 2000s with beet being trucked in from out of state. It is now closed. I think sugar beet by rail ended in the early 1980s. On our layout we will model sugar beet traffic with a beet dump at Umbarger, TX, and loads going to Hereford. I hope that we can do a video like yours one of these days.
