Im doing some research for my new layout, and I am looking for some photographs and information on rail spurs that are built into pulbic streets to serve industrial companies. <br /> <br />This would kinda be like an Interurban setup. I am thinking of making part of my layout a spur that comes down the middle of a street, and then makes short radius turns to serve small industrail custormer. On an HO scale layout, this would mean #5 turnouts, with 9" radiuses. I would be limted to running only 40' box cars, and the engine would have to be a short 4 axle switcher. <br /> <br />Are there any examples of rail roads continuing to operate these small urban spurs after the interurbans shut down?
