Avondaleguy, <br /> <br />I think your definition of a team track is right on. A small refractory liner producing company I worked for as a maintenance man years ago received some of it's bulk fiber from rail. The problem was that we had no siding... So, the receiving guys would drive around the corner to a siding called Basset Team Track on the SP line parallel to Valley Blvd in La Puente, CA to unload a car dropped there. Simply a concrete ramp with a flat about 200 ft long. Lots of comanies used this to offload or load goods/materials from all manner of railcar. Here was the kicker... In as far as our company was concerned, I could not go to the team track, only the shipper/receivers could go because they were in part of the teamsters union, I was not... One of the guys told me that was part of the union contract...
