The closest asphalt plant to me is actually situated on the property of a stone quarry, so the gravel they use comes directly from the quarry. All the asphalt is also trucked in. A different company runs the plant though..

Grew up with one of these in my backyard 40+ years ago in Charlestown NH. Small operation. No conveyor. The trucks hauled it "up and around" and dumped up top. It was Arthur Witcomb's Ready Mix back then. It's Carol Concrete these days

Lucky man! Flew to Denver from UK to travel on all the Narrow Gauge lines in Colorado. Hired a car spent a few hours at the Moffat tunnel, there must have been a stoppage as never saw nothing. I seem to remember I used the toilets there? There seems to be a fenced area there now. But I did manage a flight in a B17 Flying Fortress ALUMINIUM OVERCAST out of Denver Centennial Airport, before travelling to Palmer Lake, Pikes Peak, Leadville, Cumbres and Silverton.
