Believe it or not, that reminds me of my childhood days of trainwatching back when I was a kid! The crew of the local from Abilene or Salina to Junction City, KS on UP's Kansas Pacific Main would periodically spend the night in Junction City after doing switching at the local yard and grain elevators, and the loco was parked for the night on a spur by the depot that was protected by just such a device (albeit on just one rail)
