Bidye Traction Railroad into TRS19

Some may have purchased the Deluxe version of T:ANE? Or purchased the "Bidye" as DLC? This is an update to bring it up to TRS19 standards. I'll feed it into the system for processing by the DLC team.

It's the second of my traction layouts (the other being "The Shortz & Kerl"). But on a much smaller scale:

In essence, the layout is an S-shape:

With many interlinked industries:

A railroad ferry barge is the connection to the outside world:

And the industries include a paint and solvents processing plant and a small coal fired power station:

There is a very small locomotive depot to cater for electric, diesel and steam locomotives:

You might think running consists on this layout is easy. It ain't. AI tainz (a short line railroad also operates over the route) run in both directions over the layout. The challenge is to work a train from one yard to the other without a corn field meet (for the uninitiated, a "corn field meet" was the event that happened when two trains travelling in opposite directions collided head on in dark (unsignalled) territory).
