"Team track" apparently comes from the "team" in "team of horses" that were originally used to pull the wagon to meet the train. A team track serves as a general loading and unloading area for industries that aren't big or busy enough to warrant their own siding or share of a siding. <br /> <br />Team tracks may or may not have ramps (at the side or end), a crane of some sort, a scale/scale house, etc. Walther's makes a nice little kit that illustrates the team track concept well: <br />http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3166 <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
