If all three shows up at once (and they have) the crew is force to make several moves in order to spot these cars on the transload. They pull any empties on the transload and take them to the interchange before picking up the long cars as the crew calls 'em..
It is not the space that concern me. It is the optical impression on the tight curves of the main line on both sides of the scenic part. It looks so awful to me that I decided to avoid it. The 64' reefers are quite long but acceptable to me and I kept some on storage.
