Function of the refinery



Ok guys I had a thought and that thought was we haven't really looked into what happens within the refinery, so with two plans up above here's my idea on it. On Josh's sketch we see tracks leading in and out of the refinery and into Dead Man's Quarry, however we don't know where the tracks acutually start. Could it be that the tracks start at the entrance, but goes through on the outside of the town area, not through the middle? If you look at Josh's pic the tracks could start on the left side, at the back of the two buildings, right? The buildings could be shacks, sherfiff building, saloon or whatever, the point is the tracks can lead to where they where originally drawn before.
Next, is what happens within the refinery so here's what I think happens.
1. The mine cart goes in the main building on the right track, and within the main building the track curves leading outside again, but instead of the cart coming out it stops in the middle of the curve.
2. Whatever the cart was carrying, it will be unloaded to the back where a huge coneyor belt is, that goes over the canyon. If you think about the luggage in the Airport, the conveyor belt moves in the same fashion.
3. Eventually the product will reach the edge of the conveyor belt, and the product will go into the boiler. Based on the plan above Josh's pic, this could be the process of how the town is powered, that little circle next to the boiler I imagined being the smoke tower. If you remember that little tunnel I built connecting the tower, that's where the smoke goes.
4. Afterwards, what's left of the product goes back on the conveyor belt and gets put back in the mine cart which then takes it to Dead Man's Quarry. Kinda makes me think they are burning humans or something, but anyways the process starts all over again. That's my idea anyways, SO BRING ON YOUR CRITICISM! Ahem...I mean let me know what you think.
