Russ, thank you for the explanation. I see, there is a Packer Ave. right in that place. I am most attracted by the trackage one block east north and south of E. 44.th St. There are much more turnouts etc. than usual. The buildings are relative small. They might fit in 1' - 2' on a H0 layout. Most are services by an own track, some with two. There are 3-4 tracks running parallel. Lots of temporary storage and run around possible. Those two blocks are attached with sharp 90° curves on the east and west side. There is a lot of switching. Streetview makes it possible to identify each industry by name.
