Except - car storage can be big business these days. 73% of the US car fleet is now privately owned/leased. So if the cars don't have loads, the owner or leaser has to figure out where to park them.

Unfortunately, too many storage customers want to pick which cars come out of storage in what order. Unless you're storing all the same car type and the customer agrees to last in first out, having an unused branch might not be an advantage unless there are a whole bunch of usable side tracks.
