Prototype Information
Transportation service is often defined as a "Line-haul", and is defined as the moving of cars from one city or town to another.
Switching consists of all other movements of railway cars and the movements of locomotives and motorcars under their own power incidental to such car movements.There are several classes of switching as follows:
- Accessorial Switching: Service which includes all the movements which
are not an integral part of the through transportation of cars from origin
points to destination points but which are essential to the transportation needs
of the country and which are divided into the primary classes of
- switching for icing,
- switching for feeding and resting livestock,
- switching for weighing,
- switching for repairs, etc.
- Crosstown Switching: A service commonly known to mean local transfer from one industry to another within the same switching district.
- Intra-Plant Switching: A switching movement from one place to another within the same plant or industry.
- Intermediate Switching: Is a kind of switching service which includes all the elements of switching performed by a carrier which neither originates nor terminates the shipment nor receives a line haul on that shipment.
- Intra-Terminal Switching: Where a car is switched from a point of origin to another point of destination in the same switching district by the same carriers, the movement being, complete in itself.
- Inter-Terminal Switching: "A switching movement from a track of one carrier to a track of another carrier when both tracks are within the switching limits of the same station or industrial switching district.
- Intra-Train Switching: Service which includes all the elements of switching performed in taking a car out of a train and replacing it either in the same or another position in that train.
- Inter-Train Switching: Service which includes all the elements of switching performed in taking a car out of a train and placing it in another train of the same carrier at the same station or terminal.
- Industrial Switching: The movement of a loaded car from any spur, track, junction, yard, or terminal of a carrier to any spur, track, junction, yard, or terminal of the same carrier.
- Interchange Switching: The initial or final movement of a car upon the terminal tracks of one railroad in aid of the road-haul movement over another railroad.
- Reciprocal Switching: By reciprocal switching is meant switching to or from a connection with another carrier where that other carrier has a line haul.
- Secondary Switching. By "secondary" switching is meant that additional switching service sometimes incident to reconsignment within switching limits after a car has been placed for delivery, and the movement of partially loaded cars to other locations for completion of loading or unloading.
- Spotting Service: Defined as the service beyond a reasonably convenient point of interchange between road haul or connecting carrier and industrial plant tracks.
- Yard Switching: Defined to be the movement of a loaded car from any spur, siding, or track in a yard of any carrier to another spur, siding, or track in the same yard.
