Model railroaders sometimes make scale models of such heavy industries 
to serve
as "customers" of their model railroad.  Most advanced modelers want to 
simulate
the business end of railroading (picking up and delivering various 
goods) rather than
run toy trains around endless loops of track.  A coal burning power 
plant makes a
good customer for a railroad hauling coal in hopper cars.  Of course you 
need a
mine at the other end of the layout.
