In addition to the posts above, you may consider modeling a yard in a darker color than the mainline. Possibly the run thru track, arrival/departure track can be mainline stuff and the pocket, and yard storage tracks may be grey. If you wonder about number of tracks in a ladder, one of two choices. The first is to call a track for industries for that town. The second choice is to dedicate a ladder for a large industry and bridge traffic. I remember seeing the yards on the east side of the st. louis arch and boy they are sunk into the mud. Obviously it was a powerhouse in steam days but are so left to ruin over the decades. I dont know how much land area it is but it would be very expensive to remove the metal and the pollution. But cheer up. There are many yards in business that are kept fairly well. Not showroom condition but as long the work gets done it should be ok. Good Luck, Lee
