This is overkill. Just use the fact that you can align the switches • AGAINST

Thanks for sharing this idea. I would have thought this would cause the • train
to derail. This will make it much easier for me to reverse my trains.

You could try to add some weigth to your train to prevent this from
happening (if it does happen ;-). Especially the cars that are not
motorized.

My 2 cents
