The latest idea was to have one RCX control train detection and switching (off the
main line) for up to three stations and have another RCX for each station
(load/unload/train-control)
Each "siding" RCX would have to make sure it doesn't put out the train where it will
crash.
And, besides, the occasional crash would be cool. :)
