Yes - either way would work, but - as you say - the second version keeps the "canyon effect". Sorry for the poor amendment to your drawing - if I'd had the XTrkCad file it would have been more like yours! 
I have to admit that a team track makes a very useful "any Industry, any Freight car" place to put a car without having the industry physically on the layout. The other thing that would work in there would be a grounded container, fitted with an electricity supply from a pole, with a pump facility in it, and hoses that connect directly to tanker trucks and rail trucks - then you could run a couple of tank cars in there and have your "Fuel dealer" somewhere "off-layout". There were some photos, about 18 months back in RMC, of just such a thing
