The one industry i find very interesting is
5) Trademark Metal Recycling.
It looks like they ships out scrap metal in gondolas.
I can not see any signs of a turnout or siding, so it looks as if they to load these cars on the branch line.
I'm guessing here but they must have to be pulled/pushed out of the way before the other customers are switched.
I can't see a run-round loop anywhere (unless its under the trees to the right of the scrap yard)
I've found a couple of Google satellite views of a FCEN CF7 pulling a train on the the ISL but as all the turnouts are facing there must be a run-around loop somewhere on the branch or the train has nothing to be with the line and is just using the the track to access the nearby yard.
I'm now thinking I could fit this around three sides of my shed.
It wouldn't be a perfect copy of the line but it might work.
Right, time to get the anyrail out and start planing
