Both ideas have merit. New Haven, Ct station uses the underground approach, with enclosed exits for the stairs on the platform.
Keith Thompson's terrific model of Harrisburg, Penn station (at the Lowell convention) had an elevated concourse. The latter being PRR, I suspect might be the way to go for Bill. Neither of these is over general yard tracks, but the same problem occurs with any large station located to the side of the tracks rather than at a stub end, so the issue is not so unique. Pieter E.
