Bocznica,rail yard or vlečka - Are we gonna use them?

Hello, i play dispatcher mainly a since not that many trains passing im walking around a lot.

But one thing interested me the most. That is the rail yards. There are tracks there, even branched according to reality. But they're imperfect. I notice minor imperfections like insufficient cross-section, collisions. 
Is there any point in reporting defects in the yards as well, or should we either leave it for later or not use them at all? For now, I'm putting this in GD because I don't know if it's a bug that needs to be reported or not. 🙂 thank you.

By the looks of it, looks as if it was currently a placeholder or similar.

If the bug is visible for a player while driving passed it or while doing dispatch ops then I'd report it. I've seen similar misalignment and imperfections elsewhere too, but if the imperfection is hiding behind a fence or is far away from the playable area and is obviously meant to be background graphics then I'd just leave it.

You could report it since you already have the screenshot and the misaligned track with the door looks pretty bad. In the end it's up to the SimRail team to set the priority based on whether it's worth fixing or not.

I'm wondering if and when these become available for spotting cars.  I've seen some areas with more grass and others clean like this.  I'm not familiar with Europe but my understanding is that most of the cargo in Poland if pretty much unit trains now.  Though I have seen places by SP where there are container IM cranes.  You would think those would be active.

Thanks

I understand that this is background visuals and NOT really seen from the current play area of the map, but they will be expanding the gameplay with shunting. Essentially, you will have to option to bring a train into service from storage, maneuver to your pickup point, hook up to the cars, and run your route, then park the loco. So even if some part is not in use right now, that doesn't mean that it can't be used for gameplay at a later point, or perhaps even through user generated scenarios. I think OP should submit this as a thread on the forums, and have the SR team bug it. They will assign their own priority to it and it will be up to them as to when to fix it, but at least they will know about it. Can't fix something you don't know is broken.
