For whatever it may be worth, I agree with Ed about that switchback. Add a curved turnout into that industry, and make the middle track on the peninsula single ended.
You now have three rail served industries down there, with three single ended tracks between two lowermost ones. The middle track can be used to hold cars just pulled (or about to be spotted), or even to spot cars for either building (which could be loaded or unloaded by putting boards between the door of the car closest to the building and the car on the middle track.
For that matter - you could remove the topmost building on the peninsula, and make that track shorter, using it to load or unload stuff from the tanks down there. Create some visual variation. Also, it is pretty hard to reach things on a single track between two buildings on a model railroad.
