Industries on wye
#1
Hi,

I'd like to know if industries located on wye were common on branchlines. I've seen it a few times on insurance maps, but was curious about operations. This is a serious problem when you want to turn a locomotive and have to move freight cars. At the same time, turning the engine can be done while performing various switching moves.

What I've seen were small oil dealers, cattle pen, loading ramps... nothing big or built. All on 1950s fire insurance maps.

Thanks

Matt
