UP/BNSF Interchange in Cheyenne begs to be modeled

The BNSF has a flyover (over) the UP 4-track main line in West Cheyenne, but a single lead connects the BNSF and UP through this industrial area.
This begs to be modeled. The daily paper receives news print, nothing else modern, most of the industry leads are pulled. Before the line turns
the corner to head to the BNSF yard, there is a spur (not operating) into a junk yard, recycling center.

Yes, it does. Here's a topo:



Notice that the interchange used to go to the east, down the alley between 15th and 16th Streets, and on the opposite side of the station from the UP main. You can make out the shadow of that leg of the wye in the your first satellite pic.
