As far as runaround moves..
The majority of conductors I worked with would not make a time consuming runaround move but,would elect to switch the facing point setouts on our return trip out of the urban industrial lead.
Another thing these old heads would do is after making the last trailing point setout and if we had no work beyond that point we would simply reverse move back to the yard out of the industrial lead.
If there was a store by a street crossing we would some times tied down and get a bottle of pop.
