I may be missing something, but would it be possible to indicate the Zero elevation datum on that layout please? Edit: Don't worry I found it - the little markers alongside the track showing elevation - thank you. I missed them until I clicked to enlarge the image. Kimball

Even though you already detected the 0 elevation, I marked it in below image.The gradients can be chosen in such a way that they reinforce the impression of a mountain railway. The gradients could be harmonized and standardized at 3% to extend the 0 elevation range. The absolute minimum in terms of elevation would be 8 cm height - see image below. Then there would also be room for crossovers to change the direction of travel. However, this would make the concept look less dramatic.

The port is located in eastern Ohio on Lake Erie, and the countryside represents an Appalachian valley in Pennsylvania. A diagonal backdrop separates the two scenes on this N scale railroad."

Between the scenic divider and the harbor basin there is still space for sidings on the top level. Each loop measures 10 m in length, so 20 m track length in total. Theoretically, the footprint can be reduced to 1 x 2 m, but then there is no room for the harbor basin or rail curve easements.

Hence another twisted "dogbone" track plan on a 186 x 106 cm footprint: With a limited supply of land and at the same time high demand for MRR space, the only option is to go up. R1 curves are preferably hidden in tunnels, ruling grade is 3%, total track length just under 20 m, height difference from bottom to top is 24 cm.

Well, one could cave in to reach four levels equalling an elevation of 32 cm on a 100 x 170 cm surface (when accepting a ruling grade of 4% and and the omitting of subtleties such as transition curves). The lower return loop is inverted. A valley with bridges would be ideal here, with scenery obscuring some trackage in the rear.
