It looks like you'll have impossibly steep grades between the bridges at the bottom of your drawing. It appears you're allowing only about three feet of track, plus a turnout branching to the upper bridge and two lower bridges. I hope I'm reading the drawing incorrectly. In N scale, you should allow about eight feet of track for a 2% grade, but 4 feet in a pinch will give you about a 4% grade. You could make the single bridge a crossing track and skip the grade. Otherwise, this otherwise really neat plan appears to be heading for derailments.
