Revised your plan again (blue line). No sawing back & forth to put cars off float into yard. The car float looks like it can only hold 4-6 max. Guess float cars would go to yard then a train would be put together to switch industries on other end. Also looks like there's plenty of room to pull all the cars off the float if you pulled them all at the same time.
You might want to make the car float a "staging tray". That way the tray can be changed for another tray. That way you won't be handling the cars & possibly breaking details on them. And if you put the car float next to room wall modeling only the side of the float putting the trays on the other side of the float wall.
