This is an interesting siding configuration. Inside of a street "block", there are different warehouses in a grid pattern. Rails run between each of the buildings. BUT because it's a heavily industrial area, rails come in from two different directions and form a grid like this, with access on multiple sides of each building, and 90° diamonds deep in the middle of the blocks.
In case you haven't picked up, this is from Grand Theft Auto 5. When I first saw this, I thought it was very cool, like railfan overload. But then I got to thinking, it *could* work in real life. Has anything like this every been created? This isn't the only group of diamonds, there are several more as you travel between the buildings. It's a true gridwork, which means you have to have normal split siding entering from one direction, and then one extra siding that goes below the whole block, with multiple sub-sidings that turn 90° and head into the came location. Certainly not an impossible setup. Maybe a bit impractical though?
