So, now your yard switcher can be productive after all, by actually "earning money" by switching cars. The best part here is that you don't need a "physical building" to have a trackside industry. All you need is a spare "Team Track" and a little imagination.

Steve,That would not be the job of the yard crew..Their job is to classify cars into trains.
Back in the day there was a Traveling Switch Engine(TSE job) that switched the freight house,team track and produce track.Another TSE job would switch the ice track and any industries located within the limits of the yard.
In smaller yards then there would be one TSE that covered the needed switching.
