I did find a a nice page in the web http://www.californiatrains.com/vernon.html
This short introduction
" Vernon, CA ... located east of downtown Los Angeles, this industrial district area of Los Angeles County is the location of BNSF's Hobart intermodal yard & Malabar freight yard. Also located in Vernon is the Los Angeles Junction Railroad's main yard and the majority of the customer's they serve."
explains why Vernon is so busy with tracks. I will further investigate and have an eye on it. It might be a prototype that can serve as an example for a layout. They have great tracks with all kind of track development we love so much running between the industry.
