I received a few more turnouts in the mail today that allowed me to complete the loop and a passing siding.  Here is a shot showing the coal train being split so it can be unloaded at the paper mill.  I might even be able to expand the train by a couple of cars.

Don't forget that Spring Grove only gets HALF a coal train at a time. The other half hangs out in York until there's room for it.

So the train is over 200 cars long ?  The train shown unloading in the google maps images is 115 cars.

Hmm. Really? Maybe that's changed. I'd ask on the railroads of York Facebook page before gluing anything down.

From here, go out to Earth view.  There are two strings at the dump area, one to west of merges mill Rd, and two east of town sitting on the main waiting to be brought in to unload.  The half train might have been before they started using NS power

Codorus Creek looks pretty wide in your photos. Doesn't seem that way going over it when you're in town at the ball park.

At this point, I'm not even going to try.  Those heads are really really small  .  I'm not certain anything would fit, and I'm not big on electronics at this point.  More going for the look here.
