First of all, better start with an historic picture to be able to analyse if the model is faithfull to the prototype. This one is taken from Joseph Testagrose Collection, available on Old Time Trains website:



And the same picture shot on the layout from the same spot.



A general view of the property. Note there should/will be an abandonned double mainline near the fascia is this configuration is agreed on.



This view is taken from the crossing too. I like the industrial look of a bunch of tracks running between telegraph and power lines.



This one is very nostalgic. When I was a kid in the 80s, it was the classic view we had on the train while lunching at the diner located just in front of the cement Plant every Saturday.



A general bird view from the East, looking west.



Overall shot of the scene. The plant may be huge but it doesn't overpower the scene. I really like the result, particularly the main line in front of the scene.



And a special one, from the railfan perspective!
