The operation got adjusted more close to the BNSF operation at Cermak Rd. The left track became an industry lead (scrap) only. The former use as storage/staging track is eliminated. There are three more industries (two visible in the background), one is behind the wall at the right) on the layout and the mainline (right) and a run around (center track). That is basically how BNSF serves the industries at Cermak Rd today. The scrap is boosted to have like BNSF a good amount of scrap gondolas in each session.
It is amazing how much the layout is downsized to four industry stub tracks and one run around only.

The other direction tracks (right to left) scrap industry, run around, mainline, lead to two industries and 4.th industry behind the wall.
(The BNSF GP50 is just performing the run around to start serving the industries. The buildings I worked on during the last weeks is in the dark background).
