Seems to me I read an article in "Model Railroader" a long time ago about
that type of layout.  IIRC a double ended staging yard was used to run
trains out onto the layout.  The layout modeled was a bridge line with
little on line industry.  Essentially it was for running several trains at
once and a dispatcher would be used for planning the meets of opposing
trains.  I always liked that idea, since it fit the Western Pacific Feather
River canyon route.  Lots of action and spectacular scenery, like bridges,
cuts, fills and tunnels.  A long narrow layout with a long staging yard
behind or underneath to hold the trains.  DCC would fit into an operation
such as this very well IMO.  I had forgotten about that article, thanks for
memory jog.
