That would work, Small trans-load tracks that serve local businesses are good since they aren't overly compressed to the point of unbelievability.

Large trans-load tracks that could handle a large variety of cars at once are often in a massive facility that would be big enough to take up an entire ISL.

Whatever plan Ed decides on I'm sure it will look good!

The larger transload tracks is usually operated by a independent bulk unloader and could be located in a industrial park,near the yard or anywhere there is space for this type of operation.

A team track is still in use in some areas but,bulk transloading and warehousing has all but killed the down by the freight house team track.
