Possible inspiration for switching layout

I came across the FCR in a roundabout way but it has some great features - sharp curves, kick backs, short sidings, canyons. This is a bing maps link

and the company website

http://www.omnitrax.com/railroads/fulton-county-railway-llc.aspx

 

it is part of Omnitrax and has been using SW1500 and SW1200s (I think - I have only picked up on this because they are supposed to have gone to the Illinois Railway) and is rumoured to be getting GP9s

Slightly to the SW http://binged.it/yp0OMg is another urban canyon. If you follow the tracks to the right you get to the Great Southwest Parkway, they dont appear to cross, but start up again on the otherside. If they did cross, and the orientation suggests they might have, then it is possible to follow them round in an oval and end up back where you started - so its even (almost) a prototype for a roundy roundy layout!
