On an unrelated note, I just realized that the "elevated station" (compared to the level of the railway) that I was using in my single player example was, while fine in the air or on (or in) the ground, going to be horrible to implement underwater.  Consequently, I went out spelunking and got some more iron and designed a "sunken station" which does not raise the track above the level of the railway.  Actually, although I initially had misgivings, this might be the superior version.

Exiting from the station (nothing interesting happens in between, you just have to drop the cart down to physically move past the user interface)
Also please note that this represents the first prototype of this station design; later designs included a "press-and-go" button system rather than switches and a button.  However, if you would like to make this yourself but don't want to mess with redstone circuitry, the switch design has nothing but direct redstone lines.]
