Welcome to O scale. When I was looking at moving to the Houston area, there were two areas I was looking at for inspiration when designing a switching area -- the Imperial Sugar Plant in Sugar Land (SP and MP), and the end of the MKT line off I-10 and Katy Fort Bend Road. Google Maps has some good aerial coverage of both. To the west of Imperial Sugar (now a development), there was a car storage/repair facility, but tracks ran right into the plant. The silos were still there as wa the office building (a few years ago). Last time I was in Houston I saw an N-track module set that modeled the area beautifully. It would be massive in O scale. I'm not sure if I'm moving to Texas, but I still think about modeling part of it. Hope this helps a bit.
