Triplex posted an externally hosted jpg of your trackplan with the main loops in red and blue.
If it is correct, what you appear to have is a loop and a half - one part of the track basically doubles one side of your loop. And there is no reversing loop (except the somewhat complicated wye at the top).
If you start going "west" (i.e. to the left) in the town at the bottom of the plan -
Take the left leg through tunnel A. You loop around, joining back with the track closest to the aisle, going "south" through the short tunnel, and end up going west again in the town.
If you then take the right leg, you traverse what appears to be a folded "8" -- up over the short tunnel, loop at the "north" end, anad back south through the short tunnel into town again.
If you want to increase the apparent distance between scenes (town, industrial area (near the pipe) and the junction/yard, you need a twice around loop. Put "Town" and "Pipeville" each on their own loop and then hide the "through" trackage like you did with the tunnels.
