I am looking at the industrial track near the pushpin that says "drainage ditch", how it is almost perpendicular to the BNSF mainline! I thought only model railroaders squeezed in tracks like that!
LOL yes, there are some spots with some complicated trackwork in there, I was quite surprised at some of the layout myself. And I agree with you, alot of industries in a rather small space with tight trackwork makes for some switching fun. Ill be using GP60M locomotives to switch which are 4-axle engines, just like the prototype does. With this in mind, I still kept to a 24" minimum radius throughout the plan.
