I'm running my layout with common rail cab control. One feature of this (Good or bad?) is that you can run a loco from a block on cab A to a block on cab B without its stopping. This really affects those old steamers where the loco picked up from one rail while the tender picked up the other (some old diesels as well).
I have all my blocks double insulated and the common wiring is at a terminal block.
Remember that common wiring requires separate transformers for each cab. And reversing sections need fully separate wiring for both rails.
