Most of the yards I seen are at least a 1 mile long. How long is a mile in HO? About 70 feet? Most yards I seen are at least 10 tracks wide. I have seen double and triple track sidings that some call yards, but they are sidings. Yards are used for parking, building, and arranging trains. Most have fuel, sanding, and maintance facilities that will house several locos. The local yard has 8 tracks going into the maintance shed alone, and will hold maybe 4 or 5 SD70MACs on each of the tracks. And that's just under the maintance shed roof. But if you really want real pictures try google search for train yards. I found lots of pictures. As I say once again, look at model Railroader magazine to get scale yard plans and ideas.
