Well as I see it your crew is safer pulling empty cars up the hill than having a loaded train pushing them down hill. The main line is safer having your storage yard dead end rather than joining to the main line if one or more cars break free coming down the hill. IF it was me I would switch the switches so the main line connected to the left of the wye instead of to the right. That eliminates the fancy switching to get loaded cars to the mainline and still a runaway will derail at the end of the storage yard and not foul the main. This is also cheaper than adding another switch or a run around, the stockholders will appreceate that.
