Those who have seen real urban railroad operations can appreciate our example. Trains literally run down streets and alongside city buildings!
This pike combines a residential area with the yards on the city's outskirts. It is fine for all kinds of railroad operations.

Our example is based on the "edge of town." Places are common where city living seems to intrude into the industrial zone on the rim of a city.
This trackplan allows for various freight drill, shunting and commuter / streetcar services.
