You could get a couple of two pin male Jones plugs and put a pigtail on each one, then solder one to each end of the rails on the bridge. Then you put a female plug with a pigtail soldered to the rails coming to the bridge. Then you get power to the table by plugging in whichever Jones plug is at the end of the bridge next to the track coming to the table. The advantage of your system is that the rail joiners will also align the bridge. I'm not sure of a better way to align the bridge with my idea. Perhaps a hole in the base next to the bridge and a hole on each end of the table that automatically aligns the bridge when you have it in position and drop a dowel into the two holes to lock the table. Just thinking that I would get tired of fighting rail joiners if it was me. I think I would also install an Atlas rerailer track at each end of the table and at the end of the spur going to the table just in case a locomotive derailed while moving on or off the turn table.
