A couple of rail served industries just off the west end of W Yale Street - quite a few other streets named for universities in that neighborhood, btw - Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, Tulane.
And then the branch you mentioned branching off west just north of Silver Star Road, up towards Silver Meteor Drive, with the two small sub-branches northwards.
And for those who don't remember, the Silver Meteor and Silver Star (along with the Silver Comet and the Gulf Wind) were streamliners on the Seaboard Air Line.
