hi Justin,
to add some more complications you could imagine your train is made up at a yard east from this switching district.
In my drawing it is called fiddle-track; the yard is virtual. Your engine will push a block of cars around the corner.
Bringing in "fresh" cars, destinations are the interchange and cars for various industries.
Lots of work to do since some cars have to remain where they are, some cars have to be spotted now, some later and a few others have to be pulled.
Depending on the number of cars in your train it might be handy to have space to temporarely park cars. If the space you allocated is enough? Who knows. You can always add an other "storage track" later.
Also the runaround and facing spur I added in my drawing are complicating switching. And last but not least, your space will allow you to add some more industies if needed.
Cars have to spotted at the right doors too, my guess is you don't have to worry about dull operating sessions.
If you really would like to try something complicated, i would have a look at Bill Denton's Kingsbury Street layout. (101 More Track Plans)
