Team track is a spur designated for use by customers with less than car load shipping and receiving.

There is usally a dock of some sort, and/or at least a road, and parking area, right next to the track for esay access by customers.

More heavily used team tracks might even have a ramp, and/or an overhead crane.

Today's modern version of a team track is the transloading tracks, where everyhting from tank cars, hoppers, flat cars, etc., are loaded/unloaded on to, or from, trucks.

What is a Team Track. I see that name on layouts plans all the time. What is it used for.  Looks to me just like a spur. Thanks
