The advantage to that design is that the area between modules should already
have 8-stud/9-brick clearance, so as long as the train isn't too high, it should
be able to pass through safely without any major modifications to existing
modules.  The advantage to the path detailed with the official Moonbase standard
is that it can run adjacent to a module, rather than below it, allowing for
cargo to be offloaded into a warehouse, or attached to a standard Moonbase
corridor.  Unfortunately, since the straights are 16-studs long instead of
8-studs, you can't do both with unmodified track.
