I have a rail line going down into my mine, I want to be able to send a chest cart, and regular minecart down as needed. The first orientation (image 1) works on the way down but on the way up both carts end up on the same track. As far as I know you can't switch the track from right angle to straight with the lever. It switches between both right angle turn options (pictured in image 2), instead of the intended straight track (bypassing the chest cart track)

figure out a way to power that bent track on the chest cart track, with a switch. Then you can just flip between the two.
A comparator can read the fullness of the chest minecart when it is on a detector rail. You could try using that somehow.
When the rail is in the orientation in image 2 the cart traveling in will travel over it as if the rail is straight.
