Train on SL uses acceleration track (track between the entry presignal at A and the actual merge at B) to get to full speed (87 mph is wagon speed limit):

Actual merge into ML occurs with the train at full speed:

Merge complete:

The distance between A and B will have to be tuned for the traffic merging onto the ML at each location. Trains with different weights or speed limits will need separate joiners.
