A locomotive dead line refers to a track, often within a railroad yard or shop, where out-of-service locomotives are stored. These locomotives are typically awaiting repairs, decommissioning, or scrapping. The term "dead" indicates that the locomotives are no longer operational or active.

Locomotives in the dead line are not in use, either due to mechanical issues, outdated technology, or because they've reached the end of their service life.

Some locomotives in a dead line may be awaiting repairs or spare parts, while others may be kept for potential resale or scrapping.

Dead lines can be temporary storage, with locomotives either returned to service after refurbishment or permanently retired.

The dead line is a familiar sight in rail yards, often featuring a variety of older locomotives, including steam engines, diesel-electric units, and other aging rail equipment. Some rail enthusiasts view these areas as historical snapshots of past rail technology.
