Hi Stein -
Yes, it was Tony K. We used to do this on the WM Job on the old Allegheny Midland. THis job was short, but packed full of "play value" because of the job that switched WestvaCo paper.
I have a similar siding on my layout, where I did not have the room to build the extra siding to the scrap yard, so I will have my crews spot those cars at the end of the siding, while cars for the crane track will load out on the far (open) end of the siding. Also, many of my industries are multiple spots or multiple tracks. I model the New Jersey waterfront, and a tiny Walthers factory (even one of the "big" ones) wouldn't be very realistic as built right out of the box.
