I cannot recall any place on the mainline where they could be stored and
still allow scheduled cars to pass.

I have photographs during fair week that prove that the remaining tracks
at Castle Shannon Yard were used to lay up fair cars.  There is another
question that goes with this ... did operators lay over all day or did
they go back to their respective divisions.  I have no answer. 

For those who question the tracks at Castle Shannon, be advised that it
closed as an operating carbarn ca. 1932 and the frame car house was
dismantled.  But the yard continued to be used as a base for interurban
maintenance of way equipment (M212, M127, M551, M555, M517, F7, F9)
until 1953.  There were still a goodly number of unused tracks.
