Lee's not the only one going to work.
I've been planning out the two "lobes" of the layout (I know, they need styrofoam... hopefully tomorrow).
The buildings themselves in the whole thing are going to change, these are all just stand ins.
I refined the National Brewing area a bit more. This area will be representative of the western side of the Canton area in Baltimore, where there was a brewery and a number of other warehouses.
Here we go:
There are three industries located here. The National Brewery in the back will have two tracks, one for the unloading of hoppers, and one for the loading of Natty Boh into RBLs (no need to reefers, it's not "cold brewed"...).
I may end up going to 6 spots total though, depending on how it all fits together:
Also visible in the photo above is the stand in for the Dunder Mifflin warehouse on the left. You'll see 4 spots for CR clean lading boxcars (yellow doors), Canadian and southern paper boxcars.
In the center you can see the three track holding yard. The ops plan for this spot is that during the first trick, the "yard job" crew assigned to the location swaps out the cars in the storage tracks for the spotted cars. During the second trick (theoretically while crews are unloading the cars), a local comes by swaps out the cars in the storage tracks with fresh cars, while the local crew remains to move cars around if they need to be respotted.
Also at this location is a smaller industry, generally receiving only one or two tank cars a day.
Here's the local crew pulling clear past McDonnell Chemical Supply:
One last overview of the area, from the operators point of view.
Next up, the other lobe (representing the east side of Canton).
