You might style it after the Chattanooga station. The terminal at the end of the arrival/departure tracks, with the baggage/express/postal building/wing extending on one side only. You could have the four A/D tracks and one B/E/P track against the wing (or if you want a lot of headend activity, two paired tracks with a platform on the outside of each). I'm not sure where the coach yard and roundhouse were. The "Chicago" issue of trains shows some arial photos of terminals and yards. The IC's station and yard were not that far apart. Practically speaking the coach yard would be as close as possible to the station to minimize crew time running the cars back and forth. The same for the loco facility. Pennsylvania Station - Its tunnels and Side-roders may still be available. Also the recent trains issue on its coach yard - Sunnyside may be of some interest. I think LAUPT was somewhat similar. The book Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal - Last of the Great Stations may still be available. Happy Modeling!
