Excellent photos as always!
Does anyone know, how do the perpendicular tracks work? I couldn't observe any way for equipment to get onto them, even the ones in the building that appear to have once connected to those 4 short pieces.

Those perpendicular rails are the rails for the transfer table. You can see the table in this shot.

That's the transfer table that connects to those tracks

There are multiple ways to get to the transfer tables.
This shot shows the general idea.

OK, I had heard mention of the transfer table, but wasn't clear on what it was. Now I get it... thanks!

I would say the plans for the 51 and 62 are on 'serious hold', but you never know. I thought the 500 and 513 were already removed off the property and placed on flat cars bound to Kentucky for rebuilding ? Could any of those 'stashed and stripped' 300's make a comeback as slug units ?
