I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be able to do a set of tables (1
large, 1 small). Even if I can't, we'll have plenty of warning to change
the layout.

I moved the station. :) And changed the monorail loop a bit.
I also played around a bit with changing the track layout (how the dead-end
sidings were accessed, and so forth), but ended up not finding anything I
liked better. I may play more later. I did drop the loops in the lower
right by an extra track length.

Here's how I'm envisioning the "zones" on this layout.
Bottom central: city
Bottom right: "city" industrial (Container yard, maybe a warehouse or two)
Upper right: rural - truck stop, grain elevator, maybe small town-type
stuff? The monorail could end here instead of looping - literally the "end
of the line"
Upper left: Octan yard/refinery
Upper central: countryside?
That mountain is still going to be tricky if there's a derail. Hmm. (design
challenge, that's all.
Thinking out loud...
