Reply to "Fighting Boredom"

If you need more room consider a trick I used in my last location.  I had a three level RR but was stuck for a place to have a passenger terminal at both the top and bottom level of a new addition.  I only had one  square foot left that the zoning board would approve, so I poured an 8" diameter concrete piling out the back and ran an elongated "dog house" fashioned with "I" beam joists to span the distance.  I then matched the roof, ridge  vent and siding to make it blend.  The blending did not work, the neighbors doubted my sanity.

One thing to consider for a RR addition.  Corners can be wasted space so pushing the zoning limit, I chamfered the corners which allowed me to push the back wall out over two feet which ultimately elongated each right of way track 2'.
