But keep in mind that there are non-Class I railroads that perform switching service in terminal areas that are not owned by multiple railroads. The Los Angeles Junction is wholly owned by BNSF. The former Illinois Northern, a switching line in Chicago, was owned only by ATSF, and before that by International Harvester. There were a number of US Steel terminal railroads that sometimes also switched steel mills, but not necessarily.
Life just ain't like that!
