Gary;
This crossdock / transload structure was built by the Effingham Railroad in 1999, when they commenced operations at the Effingham Industrial Park. Not sure how long the structure was in use but was used for a least a couple of years until the large TQW warehouse was constructed on the line. Here's a map of the EFRR that shows the location of the crossdock structure and all of the EFRR trackage.
Note, that since this map was drawn, that all the green "proposed" trackage has been built. Also it should be noted that some of their original customers in the industrial park are no longer there. Krispy Creme and Bunge Grain are both gone - replaced by other companies. As I noted in my initial post, most of the industrial spurs seem to be being used for car storage. An interesting short line, but it doesn't lend itself to modeling as a shelf layout I'm sorry to say.
