What about the old grocery warehouse ( Loblaw's? ) on Ainsley Drive in 
Syracuse NY? The track runs into the building with docks on both sides. 
Though I can't say for sure it happened, it does allow simultaneous 
loading/unloading of a car from both sides. The building still stands and it 
was an EL customer to boot. Walt may know more, but I just wanted to point 
this out in a polite manner.
