Your proposed siding is a WAY TOO LONG. 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.
I doubt conductors have a say in what the railroad builds let alone make them change something. Here's an example of a really long spur just for 1 tank car.
And a video of the spur (start at 1:45)
