The south end of Acca is intended to be the focal point of yard operations, as trains arriving from the south end staging yard will stop here to drop off and pick up cars for forwarding further north, and the locals will be built on this side as well.
The north side of Acca will be used to switch the industries there, and provide overflow track capacity for Northbound trains.
To support all this work, a fairly complex track arrangement was necessary.

| Some of the turnouts built and placed in the general location of install. |
I was able to reuse the classification yard ladder from version 1 on this side of the yard, speeding construction immensely.
Here is a shot of installation in progress:
