switching and terminal railroad
A switching and terminal railroad is a freight railroad company whose primary purpose is to perform local switching services or to own and operate a terminal facility. Switching is a type of operation done within the limits of a yard. It generally consists of making up and breaking up trains, storing and classifying cars, serving industries within yard limits, and other related purposes. These movements are made at slow speed under special yard rules.〔Bureau of Transportation Statistics, (Dictionary ), accessed November 2008〕
==Facilities==
A terminal facility can include a union freight station, train ferry, or bridge. Its purpose is to connect larger carriers to other modes of transport or other carriers.〔
