For all of you that want to try to make sense of one of the areas I'm modeling here is a link

Here are a couple labeled pictures of what track was there when I was growing up. This view is looking north:
Notice the odd shapes of the buildings, nothing is square. This is a view of the same buildings looking south:
To the east the area looked like this:
and next east :
The track went into a small yard with 4 team tracks. They were removed in the late 50's but the track still went uptown farther until the end of the 60's, the branch to the old Riggs building was still used until 1977. A wholesale auto parts company used to get box cars of new tires delivered there.
