Thanks Tyson and Tom.

I added the interior floor behind the open dock door:
   

I made it the same as the other floor, laminating some scribed wood floor to a styrene sub-floor, then epoxying it in place using to styrene angle. 
After that I placed it on the layout

   

Now that the structure is finished, I can start to figure out where I will be laying the track. 
   

I was originally going to re-use the gantry crane from the previous layout and create a dockside scene like I used to have. I decided not to waste the space and instead put the warehouse track closer to the edge of the layout so I would have more space on the other side of the warehouse. Adding the crane probably would have cost me a siding in the yard.

   

With the warehouse put in it's place in relation to it's service track, I was able to figure out the yard tracks and the service road that will go around the warehouse. It's tight and the employees will have to park on the end of the building but it will work. I'm thinking of putting a scrapyard on the other side of the warehouse but that's just in the planning in my head stage.

   

Now I was able to draw out the center lines on the yard tracks. They will have the same 2 1/2" center-to-center spacing as the small-town yard that I laid last year. I plan to hand lay this yard as well, with the exception of the turnouts.
