Your proposed siding is a WAY TOO LONG. Granted this layout is N scale, so your walking is not an issue. RR wise though doubt any RR would make one that long. as any trains working there would be only 6-10 cars. Besides think how far the on-the-ground trainmen would have to walk. Can see an old conductor making the RR shorten it. LOL So would reduce that one by 1/2. An alternate could be making spur on left side into a siding by adding a Xover on top end. And that would still leave an industry spur.
