I'd go with the station at 20 studs unless you are building the nearby
modules to contain the ramps down to 10 studs. Please make your
station/tunnel capable of accepting a 6 wide train (which probably means
an 8-wide tunnel).

I agree, stations need not be able to hold a complete train. I will
likely play with longer than two car trains, which will be unlikely to
fit into any reasonable station.

I definitely think this is the track alignment to go with for the first
run. Let's see how it works, then suggest changes.
As far as supporting the track over modules not designed to have track
running through - we will need a bucket of small bits to create
appropriate height pillars since not all supports will be able to go
down to the baseplate.

(who will at least bring monorail track to NWBrickCon, and hopefully a
module or two and a train or two).
