Stix, thanks for the info. This is one of the items, where German railroading differs quite  lot from US practice. In Germany,  such a spur would have a switch leading to a "safety" spur, so the car couldd not run onto the main in any case. The car itself would be secured by a "shoe" sliding on the rail and braking the car down should it begin to move accidentally. Are all spurs secured by derailers?
