You might want to check out Indiana Harbor Belt's website as they have aeriel photos of several yards. Also look on Ebay for railroad zone maps as they show track capy, track names and numbers and customers. I belive Conrail called the ZTS maps, at NS we got them in training so we knew the yard before we started playing with the big stuff.
