Rail lines under coal stage ramp?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any case whare a rail line ran under (ie. crossing under) a line running up to a coaling stage.  Didcot is an example of the general type of coaling stage I had in mind.  It would seem that the banks were only12' or so high thus I would expect traffic would not have been able to fit underneath even had there bgeen a need.

 

But I really would like to be wrong...

I don't think so.  Even in South Africa, who rather took such things to extremes and where coaling stage ramps were constructed on metal stanchions to at least double the height you mention (and therefore well above the loading gauge), I can find no examples of lines crossing underneath.
