It appears that you have a point to reverse loop type design.  That is assuming the two straight sections of track at the top of your sketch stop where the drawing stops.

If you pull a train out of one of the straight sections, then go around the reverse loop back to with the same straight section or the one next to it, your locomotive will have to push the train on it's next trip.  The same goes for running the train from the stub end of one straight to the stub end of the other.  

If you were able to have reverse loops at each end of the run, then you could run the train loco first all the time.  

Also, consider a passing siding somewhere.
