Here's a view from Google Maps of a part of Vernon, CA served by the Los Angeles Junction Ry. It isn't a full oval -- the curve on the left is missing -- but the rest of it may as well have been planned for a 4 x 8. Only the section on the lower right, with a covered hopper on the spot, is currently active, but it ought to be an inspiration to anyone who wants to do something other than a shelf layout cliché. Again, I think Kamerad isn't too far from the leading edge here!
The whole area is reached by a switchback move from the lower right, another item that "isn't prototypical".
