So I've got this odd corner with a siding too short to be worthwhile and it's been bothering me for years. The space is also cut in 1/2 by the tracks heading down to the lower level and under Colder to come out at Grande Prairie. What to do with that issue?
This is the siding corner. The track originally ended at the 'canyon' but it only held one car. A temporary ramp and a temporary bridge added enough track to make it useful but it was still naked.
Another view from the business side. I really wanted to keep that open prairie look. Hard enough in the confined space but I felt I could do as much with a new building there as not.

The plan is to have a small stock yard in the triangular area between the tracks and a meat processing business served by the extended siding. The building would cover the 'canyon'. Yes. The trains would now mover under the bulding but I can overlook the visual burp.
I have an HO scale plan of sorts so I'll shift things around a little and let you know how that works out.
Should be fun
