I suspect that the problem might be that I am not understanding which two tracks you are meaning when you talk about tracks in front of Robinson.
If we name the tracks from the bottom to the top, we have:
- Team track,
- Milling district siding,
- Mainline,
- Freight house lead/warehouse district runaround,
- Warehouse district running track
- "Warehouse track" (left of leftmost turnout, Security Warehouse and ) and "Breakfast track" (Produce, Eggs & Milk, Printers ...)
Are you suggesting putting in a crossover between the mainline and the Freight house lead ? Ie between the third and fourth track from the bottom ? Could certainly be done. But what would it give me ?
Or did you mean between two other tracks ?

#3 and #4, working from the Team Track as #1. Lessens the amount of juggling to get cars in and out of all the various sidings and turnouts.
