I'm thinking of building an Industrial park themed layout. I once discovered a real industrial park located in the area of Kentucky/Ohio/Missouri area on Google maps which was actually a large loop of track around the industries. The sidings came off this large loop to the various businesses inside. Can anyone help me remember where this park might be located? It seemed to be a great design to model and I cannot remember where I saw it. I would appreciate any help on this.

One such loop is in Owensboro, KY on the Ohio River. Use Google Maps and search for Owensboro Riverport. The loop is North of the building.
Thank you for your reply and for the lead on this location. That location is similar in shape, but the one I was thinking of had several industries already built within the oval. It seemed like an ideal layout for a small switching operation.
Was it recent? Years ago there was one in Weirton WV right on the Ohio River. It was very close to the now demolished Fort Steuben bridge.
