while the old style team tracks are around, I don't think i would consider them the same as a dedicated trans-load facility.
--------------------------------
Oddly that exactly what the railroads calls the old fashion single track team track located in some areas-its a ad man's play on words that works.
Did you know some short lines still uses the term "team track" ?
----------------------------------
Ed,I'm not so sure you should give up the team/transloading track since it still plays a vital roll in some areas in servicing off line customers-unless you want to give those customers up to the truckers..
I will keep Slate Creek's "distribution track" since it serves our off line customers and we 're not about to give up car 78 car loads a year to the truckers..
