What is the difference?

Can somebody explain the difference between a short line and a terminal road? Somebody told me that the South Shore was a short line while the Indiana Harbor Belt was a terminal road.

Mark:

How does the BRC and IHB charge carriers for the trackage rights on their lines? Or is there another term, such as haulage rights?


Is it a "per car" or tonnage, or combination?
