  It was often the desire to promote rail traffic that gave the railroad reason
to build a spur, siding, depot, etc.  If the location looked like a good spot for
lumbering, farming, tourism, whatever, they might well decide to set the ball
in motion with some sort of facility.

  Some times the facility followed the traffic, the railroad building appropriate
facilities to suit an existing traffic producer.  

  It was all about traffic and revenue.
