Shortliner, thank you for the links. I spent hours "wandering" around the East Rail district and the Downtown spur with Google street view and the bird’s eye view of Live Search Maps to find structures to model and get the feeling for this area. For my layout I combined some scenes I found. Though a lot of the companies are no longer served by rail anymore, for the sake of operations, on my layout they all will have rail service. All in all, my layout is not really prototypical, it is a kind of "rearranged reality" that I am modeling
