And then there were the covered ones, which was another option to keep the snow out. My favorite example being the one the Silverton Northern had on its mainline at Corkscrew Gulch, if a switchback, or for that matter anything on the Silverton Northern could be called a mainline. There was actually a paper published on it in the American Society of Civil Engineers Transactions in 1890.
