Actually team tracks are still widely use by every major railroad and some short lines except they're now called Trans load tracks and distribution centers..

I suppose "team track" sounded to old fashion for today's railroad yuppies and they developed a new eye catching name..

But are they really team tracks in the traditional sense? They aren't little single tracks with a loading dock anymore.

They're frequently large facilities with multiple tracks alternating with paved roadway for trucks to unload bulk goods from tank cars and hoppers. Large warehouses handle the transfers between trucks and boxcars. They're also usually spread hundreds of miles apart, as trucks can make the journey to wherever within a few hundred mile radius.

while the old style team tracks are around, I don't think i would consider them the same as a dedicated trans-load facility.
