Southern Pacific Switching Layout

Ed, just for the heck of it I redrew Consolidated Container with 2 tracks:


It does look pretty good, but it will cost me another turnout, although I might just build this part now, and then build the part right leg later.

That looks darn good Justin. Should give you a bit more operation for Consolidated as you'll often have empties pull from the "Upper Dock" and re-spot at the "Lower Dock". I'd go with this arrangement if you can swing the extra turnout. Lining cars up to spot on a single track can be quite interesting, but were I modeling this facility, then I'd try and include both tracks to more closely model the actual facility.
