Hi gang --

Just stumbled upon this and wanted to share. Here is an interesting track/loading dock configuration for a produce terminal;

As one of the people commenting on the picture notes - it was a pretty flexible track configuration, since you could spot three cars per track - one at the loading dock, with the next two really being spotted so they could be unloaded at the *neighbouring* loading docks (through the cars spotted at the neighboring docks).

Here is a picture with RR cars at the unloading docks:

A concept sketch for a fairly big such facility which can unload up to 13 cars on 4 tracks at 6 unloading docks in H0 scale:
