A team track is a public siding open to anyone receiving a shipment by rail that can be unloaded at that spot. The most common example would be a station house track. That is the siding off the main or branch that is near a local station or where one used to be. It is correct as one of the other posts here mentioned that the name come from the teams of mules or horses used to pull freight wagons. Also, a teamster is one who loaded and unleaded the wagons and drove the mule or horse teams. These were much more common at the turn of the 20th century than the 21st. <br />This whole topic is bordering on demurrage and storage charges as well as various types of switching (interplant, intraplant, inter terminal, intra terminal, etc.) Like many other railroad topics, this can get pretty involved and it could be a yawner for you. But, if you'd like to open this up, respond and I'll kick it off.
