I am kind of surprised no one has made a "delayed" circuit for sale.  Something where you can "dial up" a time (say up to a minute) before the switch will receive power again.

Another approach would be a timed circuit where you "dial up" a time (say up to 5 seconds) of how long to apply power for a given trigger.  So train hits derailing trigger and circuit fires for the short time it takes to operate the switch-machine.  Then it turns off and sits idle until the trigger goes away (i.e., the entire consist passes thru).  When the trigger goes away the circuit re-arms ready for the next train...which could be 1 second later.
