I would like to see a trigger when a train passes from one isolated track to the next isolated track in a specific direction.

That is certainly a doable option.  I'll add it to the list.  Would this be intended to detect when a train is moving one way, but ignore trains moving in the other direction?

How about adding detection of train direction both ways in addition to the above suggestions.

Also, I think a lot of folks read from the recent posts lists on the right of the screen, so I think you might get more readers over here in Electrical than you might think?

I don't remember if you were in the thread that GRJ has about the train detection device with dual relays he is about ready to release, but adding to that is something that might be an idea? I think he even mentioned the possibility of adding to it later on if there was a demand. His device could be the first building block so to speak. If you haven't seen GRJ's thread, I will find a link for you if you are interested. Unless you find it first, of course. Personally, I am pretty excited about trying GRJ's new device.

My other thoughts are that this might be (or sound) a bit complicated for a lot of folks? Or maybe it just sounds a bit complex on my first read through?

I am just thinking out loud here and have no idea how (or if) this could all work though? Anyway I will be following along here.
