Lets see other undercover loading docks scenes please.
Shane
NVSRRLets see other undercover loading docks scenes please.
Locomotives, even if they're small enough to fit, are not allowed under the storage silos at GERN Industries, so idler cars are usually used for spotting the covered hoppers that are used here...
This is the Westinghouse Air Brake factory, in Mount Forest, another low-clearance covered loading dock, with an empty gondola acting as an idler car...
...This loco has head-room to spare, but isn't allowed under cover....
...and while this one's under cover, it's not a loading dock, but rather one for unloading...

More covered loading docks, please.

This is the Mail Hall Annex where parcel post packages are loaded and unloaded from mail storage cars:

L&NE had a few steel pass cars, but they were red for mow work, and arrived on the property after pass service ended. . From common practice, this is a good estimation of what they would have looked like if those cars had seen service .
More More would have been pass cars or ficticious pass cars
Shane -- Ficticious passenger cars.

The red 6220- 'Coronation' was actually 6229 Duchess of Hamilton? 6220 remained in the U.K. A thing that happened occassionally here.
Here is 6220 in blue.

In the U.S. there was a bit of a switcheroo when the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana had requested Nickel Plate Road to donate Berkshire 767 to the city since this engine had led the first train through town on a new, elevated right-of-way.
At the time the 767 was in poor shape so NKP had switched number plates and repainted the cab number to make the 765 as a reasonable stand-in.

For a while in 2016 the Fort Wayne Historical Society returned the 767 number to the stand-in 765.

NVSRRMore abandonded or reduced trackage please.
I've got this spot near a drawbridge that was a former double track crossover that has now been reduced to a passing siding where the single track passes through the bridge:

More of anything abandoned, reduced or no longer used, please.
Ed: "More of anything abandoned, reduced or no longer used, please."
Placing the new Black River Station required the removal of the Commuter/RIP track and the turnout that accessed the track. Here the track and switch have been removed and the old ballast and ground cover with it. I decided to leave the track bumper in place, at least for now.
Same as above, please.
A once mainline now light use branch.
