At that point, the inner track will enter a tunnel at C-11/D-11. Where the cliff edge covers a fair part of the "train yard" at top elevation yet is exposed at the bottom elevation with plenty of clearance (keeping in mind this is a cliff which is concave, not a mountain). It was never my intention to enclosed both the outer and inner loop with the cliff, just a tad bit of the inner. That leaves a huge top section of the cliff for not only the (whatever name you gave it) separate loop, but also some real-estate for Jeff to add some buildings. Unless I am failing to see something..... which more then likely I am.....this more like a 24 brick elevation, Which means, raising the gutter track by one more ramp to clear trains, the gutter train will not block much of the Sanfran run but does leave it totally exposed on the run and at the far end loop. Yes? Maybe?? No...?

I give up, in the time I took to post that, Derek addressed the ramp issue, and
Dave sent the elevation, which is pretty close to my plan anyway, so just forget
the prior post. I'm going back to bed.
