Wiring for a Liftout?

I have a small lift-out on my layout.  It's going to have 2 tracks Atlas c55.  It's only a bit over 2 feet long and about 9 in wide.  I decided to simplify things and make it a lift-out rather than a gate at this time.  I've got a couple of ideas for getting power to the tracks on the lift-out but I thought I might try to see if anyone has any suggestions as well.  I would also like to address the problem of cutting off power to the track before the lift-out in case the lift-out isn't in place to prevent any nasty cliff dives.

Thanks

Something might be wrong

Something might be wrong with the tag.  We get an error 404 Not Found message.

Thanks though
