Post aerial and topo pics so I can get a gander but IIRC most of the aerial are about 1999 in which case I'd say go with the pic as I seriously doubt that if the plant was starting a downward cycle that GM would invest time and effort doing major rearrangment (in most cases if one of two industrial tracks are taken out of service either the switch is locked or welded to the path that remains active or the switch is spiked)Gary S
