Another versatile track for switching and car-spotting is the "house track", which is a double-ended siding. House tracks often loop around a depot or otherwise attain separation from the main line in order to facilitate loading and unloading. <br /> <br />House tracks differ from passing sidings for operating purposes (on the prototype and the model) in that a car can be left on a house track (but not on a passing siding) without getting special permission from the dispatcher to do so.
