Mark,  Great job doing the video, it was very helpful and great to hear your voice !    Oh the disconnected world we live in.   

I'd probably double stack crossovers on the straight, leave enough room for 1 freight car so you can run around.   It's tight over there on the main where you had a switch at one time, plus it's right up against the lift bridge.   Plus if you provide the run around in the "yard" area, you don't have to foul the main to switch cars, do facing point moves etc.   

Several times I was shocked after making a CAD layout drawing change to an area on the plan that looked like there's room to do something, and then I would go down to the layout, and start trying to make what I had drawn work, and it was like where did all the room go ?  "Is my drawing wrong ?,"   "How could this have seemed do-able on the RR track software ????"
