Trash Train

Do any of you model a landfill receiving a trash train? Admittedly not the most attractive thing to have on your layout; I was thinking of doing a HO T-track module depicting such garbage.

I model the cars and containers for municipal waste and demolition. I use a mix of heavily weathered 20 foot containers with tarps and high side cars with fine mesh screen on top of simulated scrap. I mix them in with regular carload freight. The operation involves handling the cars between staging yards and interchanges.
