> On the East side there's a spur going into the plant that might only fit 1 hopper at a time.

This track is known as the "Life Saver", and just inside the gate it splits into two tracks. It's been a while, but my recollection is that four covered hoppers at a time can be loaded, two on each track, side by side, with a fifth being spotted just inside the gate. These two tracks continue on (westward) to the building to the left of the main gate, where they are referred to as the "Inshore" and "Offshore", and you would be amazed to see how many box cars, big ones at that, which can fit inside the building, and this is after they were shortened in the 1960s (or thereabouts). There is another track between the fence and the main lines. To the right of the main gate, it has a one-car scale and room for a second car; to the left of the main gate is a track for cleaning tank cars, two or three at a time (usually those SP sugar cars). I have no idea whether any of these tracks are still used. Well into the 1980s, Crockett was the largest sugar refinery in the US, and ceased being a cooperative in 1993.
