use more imagination about what is off the layout.  Townies would probably

Ick, as a townie and an architect could you just extend the road between the
factory and your main st.  All you have to do is shift two switches and
build a bridge across the gorge.  It really isn't that hard to do.  As an
added bonus the road should help pull the layout together, instead of having
these small pockets.

Speaking from our experience, people like bridges.  Bridges are cool.
Especially if they look like they're too fragile to support a train -- but
of course we know that they're plenty strong, because we built 'em!

And moving (drawbridge, bascule, vertical lift) bridges are always a HUGE
hit with the general public.
