Abner is separated from the main track by Crabtree Creek. The Leusner's Castor Oil Flake plant, Abner, and the Toledo branch are on the far side of the creek. The caboose is on the main track.

The Castor Oil Factory is a kitbash of pieces of Centenial Mills, Ford Stamping Plant, and Hardwood Furniture kits (Walthers Cornerstone kits). It's a lot easier to build something by carving up kits and mis-assembling them, than scratch building everything. The downside is the components are recognizable.

To the right the Browning highway goes over a rise then descends into East Browning. It turned out the hill/rise was too big to allow adding the spur track at the near end of the factory so I cut away the pink foam in this area. I'll be adding some retaining walls to this area to keep rocks and mud off the spur track.

The track in the extreme lower left foreground serves the Abner elevator.
