Yes Kev, the new industry spur will be a warehouse with a covered unloading area for grain (feed) for transloading to trucks.

Here is the new plan .

   

Last night I tried an operating session with one loco staged on the rear staging track shoving a couple of boxcars into the yard sorting track. Loco uncouples and returns to collect 2 grain cars on the front staging track. Loco then pulls the grain cars into the front yard track ,reverses, shoving the 2 loaded grain cars into the feed warehouse. Loco uncouples and returns to the yard to spot the 2 loaded boxcars and pull 3 empties back into staging.

I've imagined that the staging tracks are simply one end of a run around, which is off-stage. Thia arrangement provides a means of switching facing and trailing spurs without the need to model a full
run around siding.

Sounds complicated but it's really very simple and fun to operate.
