Recall industrial sidings is own by the industry not the railroad and its very doubtful that a active rail customer would want their car(s) moved while they are being unloaded especially tank cars or covered hoppers due to the loading/unloading hoses connected to the car and the need to pay a employee or employees to stand around while cars are being switch which can take up to 30 minutes.
Using a Peco RH Setrack curved turnout (both tracks nominally 24" radius), would solve this problem, allowing the tank car(s) to have a seperate siding on the left, and running the other track either alongside, or into, the Shields Supply building - Felt Oils building could move into the space no longer occupied by the extension of the Oils track - giving clear trackage along the frontage
