Just for fun: Crazy Prototype locations

[e-paw]

In my view the one that takes the cake is the CNJ's Bronx terminal in NYC. The crazy amount of super compact and tight switches along with the circular freight transfer house, car float, engine house, offices and other related buildings all squeezed into a back yard (almost) sized plot of land in amazing. Never mind the fact that the tracks don't go anywhere,,, the car float is the only way on or off the property for rail based transport. Some one even built a layout of every square inch of it in HO and N scale. This was also the proving ground for the first successful diesel in the us, CNJ # 100. I have posted a few links about the terminal including a 8mm film of the prototype.
