There is a small passing siding, prob less than 500 ft long. There is also a spur that holds approx 6 cars on opposite side. The lead to Shamrock comes off the passing siding drops grade and between two building to Shamrock Ave. There are approx 6 small industries on this lead with both facing and trailing switchs. This is a real neat modeling area.
I have taken lots of pictures of this are for modeling ideas for my own layout.
