Update on changes in this area. There used to be two narrow single track tunnels side by side under the GERN plant.

I didn't have any tracks actually serving the plant which was very unsatisfactory. I removed the tunnels and created a larger entrance under the plant...one track is the main that continues under and beyond while the other two are spurs for tankers and covered hoppers. The silos on the right are part of the new loading facility at GERN.

Close up on the tunnel with signal bridge:

Now my GERN plant is generating revenue for the railroad and the tunnels look better...I think!
