Paul wanted heavy switching and a subterranean staging yard, but he didn't think he had room for a loop to run modern-length trains. I proposed a double helix - one going down counterclockwise, one going down clockwise to reach the staging, which also forms a continuous run of considerable length. A scissors wye adds interest to the shelf.
