When the train reaches the bottom of hill sensor, the connection between NC and COM on relay 2 will be broken and the COIL on relay 1 will disengage. This will restore full track power to the downhill section of track. If the train turns around or even backs up, it can engage the hill with full power.

Please examine this to see if I missed anything. If I did, please let me know. 

Agreed going the other direction up hill would apply full track power, but wouldn't the train eventually trip the top-of-hill sensor and lock in the track lower voltage until the train makes a complete loop and trips the bottom-of-hill sensor?
