Thanks!
The whole shebang is spiritually based on Center Street junction in Youngstown, Ohio. It's actually where the whole rebuild of EricMP's Anywhere Ohio started, and since I've started to rebuild Sterling Falls to get the route that much closer to a release, I wound up reworking the whole junction a bunch to get it looking and functioning a lot better. In essence it's a crossover of the NYC (two mains and a running track), PRR (two mains and a running track), the LE&E (two mains and a running track), the steel mill inter/intra plant railroad, and all of the various connectors leading between them. The NYC and PRR have smaller town/feeder yards on either side of the junction to serve the mill and local industries, the steel mill road has its own separate yard, and then on the other side of town is the LE&E's absolutely giant 8th Avenue yard complex. With how busy everything technically should be, I rethought out the whole arrangement, and.... it got complex.
Here's a shot of Center Street in its heyday, so you can see where I got the inspiration:
