Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

It looks like the dip in the ground is part of a transfer table that moves on top of the perpendicular rails. The original post said that the driver had requested to move to the transfer table, but was in the green locomotive, essentially driving in reverse (or forward but behind the blue loco) and couldn't see the end of the rails.
