its an interesting question! The prototype does it both ways. In many cases a spur is built to serve an existing or planned building or area.....but the opposite also happens as enterprises build on or near existing spur locations and available land. I think a balance of both approaches is good. Many 'problem areas' have led to some of my favorite modeling scenes. Just remember there is no magic formula to solving building locations etc.....the builders are just trying to make a buck with the land available. Thats why you see odd shaped <br />structures in cramped high value areas...the land is to valuable to waste.
