Wow, that's a lot of shoehorning!
I think you're going to run into four basic problems with this layout:
1) Curves into Calum's station aren't going to work
2) The geometry is a bit iffy, which will lead to track breaks
3) The tight parallel curves (if that makes sense) are going to lead to
trains on adjacent tracks colliding
4) You're using up a lot of terrain on a perfectly good module to
support the tracks. You'll also have trouble making decent-looking road
crossing across all that track.
I think Derek's suggestion is good - take an extra 1/2 module of room
and we'll shift the ramp 1/2 module out.
Then you can take a siding out with impunity.
