I like your solution to the grade problem and it's cleaned up the area were the switchback was, too. 
You have a runaround track in your upper yard, although it's pretty close to the blind end to be a lot of use - what if you moved it either to the yard throat, or to the track which leads to the in-town switching area? The latter spot would make it useful for both the industry beside the upper yard and for the in-town area, too. Long enough for a loco and a couple of cars would probably do the trick, without using-up a lot of real estate.
