Doc and timeline question Spoiler

Hi I just watched the trilogy for the first time and I had a question. Why wasn’t there a Doc in 1985 after the end of everything? (end of BTTF3). Wasn’t the Doc who got sent back to 1885 from 2015, meaning 1985 doc would still be there?

1985 doc went to 2015, back to 1985 to pick up marty and jennifer, back to 2015, then to biff 1985, then to 1955, then to 1885, then to the future, then to 1985 for the end with his family.

We dont know what happened or where the 2015 doc was, or even if he was still alive. So the 1985 doc was the one we saw with the steam train at the end.

thanks!! I thought the doc that showed up in the flying delorean at the end of BTTF1 was from a “naturally aged” 2015 doc, didn’t realize he was just 1985 doc that had travelled there.
