Almost
the loaded one does drop to a lower level (-40mm) with both the entrance and exit of the mill at the same level (0mm) but the empty wont be climbing UP, it is coming down from another level above (+40mm)
so both trains would never have to climb in that distance, both would be descending (the inclines would be much gentler and probably some distance away)
edit to add
AHHA- I think I get what may have confused you- In that diagram the top rails (-40mm and +40mm) are the hidden ones behind the backdrop so the visible section with the mill is from the black backdrop line downwards with the `entry' and `exit' doors of then mill at 0mm (ie same level)
