Found this poking around on maps.

Regional auto unload.

It reminds me of one in Cottage Grove, MN

There's one between Springs and Denver on the 85 that sort of morphed into an auto unloading facility over time.

And just south of there is a Waste Management facility and Vulcan Materials, where the Hanover Sub Rock Runner terminates.

Here's another auto unloading facility on CSX's Philly Subdivision.  This is visible from I-95 near Chester, Pennsylvania.

A nice layout size facility.  The GM auto loading/unloading facility off of Barnes yard in Portland.

They were making the Chevy Cruze here, but they stopped in March to move to Mexico.

Some company that is making electric trucks bought the whole plant. https://lordstownmotors.com/

Good ol' Twin Oaks. CSX extended a passing siding nearby because of the amount of business they were doing there.

I always thought this would make one of those layout center pieces.  It would probably have to be done in N scale due to the size.  This is how the BNSF gets from the north side of the Colombia River gorge to the south side.  The line crosses over the Union Pacific mainline at Celilo Park and heads up the Dechutes River canyon to Bend Or. eventually coming back onto the UP at Dunsmir.  The legs of the wye are deck bridges and the rest are through truss bridges.  The south two bridges, just before it crosses the UP main are a lift bridge and an old swing bridge for river traffic but I don't think the swing bridge is used anymore.
