A lot of CSAO yard jobs have engines stationed in order to handle multiple jobs. They may have one engine stationed at a yard to handle 1 morning and 1 night switcher or it handles enough cars in one shift to justify its being there.
-----------------------------------------------------
The same could be said if the industrial park is located in a smaller city..A (say) GP38-2 might handle 2 shifts of switching one for the industrial park job and other local industries and the 2nd shift job for industries in the next small town.
Fuel would be supplied by a fuel distributor--any track can be used as long as the fuel truck can reach the engine.
