On the subject of New York and its cross harbour railroad s, I remember reading up about one car float/transfer operation that had a Transition era circular freight shed inside a tightly radiused circle and tight curved yard tracks all in the space of 8 x 4 or less.
A real spaghetti trackwork with heaps of curved switches and curved trackwork but with great operating potential.
CNJ's Brox terminal - Tim Warris (who makes the Fasttrack templates) has a famous layout based on this: http://www.bronx-terminal.com/
Our own Shortliner Jack Trollope has another nice float yard - Erie Railroad's Harlem Station Yard: http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic...=46&t=2675
Rail-marine operations in NYC is a extremely cool subject, and I am looking forward to seeing more of this NYCHRR layout !
