All green trains will follow the first green turn; you'll need more colors if you want them to take different paths

You don't need more colors here.
Instead of making dead-ends, you could do zig-zag.
Just shift all loaders and platforms 2-3 fields to the south, so you have space to place 2 stop signals at the north (and 2 stay south) => 1 south, 1 north, one south 1 north
Red train gets it's own bypass.
Green takes the zig-zag through the freight stations and can join the existing track afterwards.

Although I wonder how you plan to serve 20 unloaders with just 4 wagons.
I can only imagine serving 15 unloaders with that. (each lane could use one layer)
Or are you playing hard/extreme? Do train wagons then also have 4/5 layers?
Then never mind. Should work.

Hm. But it's only overflow-dependent when he doesn't utilize the 3 layers of the wagons correctly, right?
He can use 5 wagons and serve 5 unloaders per layer = 15 unloaders per train with this current setup. The last 5 would never get served though.
To serve 20, he would need to use 7 wagons and have 7 unloaders per layer.
(7 * 3 = 21)
So with using layers its would no longer be overflow-dependent.
