Just put the "Incline" back in and you fix the problem.
The RO to OA problem is the lack of third main which bottlenecks the area to begin with. A legacy of a former Railroad Man of the Year.

If the third main was back, they could put another station on the upper level, with an escalator down to the present station.
Servicing the trains would be a problem if a second lay over yard was built. Double staff would be needed, as well as facilities. If only the Hill Yard was used, the deadheading would congest Aurora to Eola W. The reverse move to back down to the yard would be fastest if the conductor used a tail hose, or since the locomotive is on the west end, rode in the cab. He could pull the air if need be. It would still be a pain, and hold things up while waiting for the switch and signal.
