Gary, I pass through this area quite a bit and I believe this is where bad orders go. About a year ago there was a ATSF caboose placed here with a place card that said "condemned". I too have thought about modeling this area as it is kinda busy. If you go further down the street to Nelms st you will see UPFE refrigerator cars always being unloaded. These cars are seem to be replaced with a fresh load multiple times a week. I've been wanting to model these old cars for sometime now. There is a lot of activity there. Took some photos but cant seem to locate them.
Ps: Good job on your layout. Looks pretty darn good.
