I have a space slightly longer than this, about 15', and am planning on stretching your plan a little and adding a small staging spur curving off at the "west" end. Anyway, my question is about the "east" end, where you have the 3 tracks next to each other. Obviously one is the main, one is a siding, but does the 3rd track serve a specific purpose other than giving some extra options for shuffling cars around? Thanks!

One of the tracks you're talking about isn't a main line. The 2 lower tracks went to Kings which is a construction/building materials dealer. The reason I say went is because they now only have 1 track which would be the bottom track. The 2 top tracks end right there for staging/transloading/switching...whatever NY&A or a customer needs them for. Not sure if the 3 tracks ever continued further back in the day but today that's where they end. If you do a google map search, type in 303 Johnson avenue brooklyn ny which is the Kings ready mix facility and you'll see the yard Kurt is modeling.
