switching service
Also called transfer service,–the service rendered by a railroad company in switching cars for special benefit of shipper or consignee, either preceding or following a transportation service. The term applies only to a shipment on which legal freight charges have already been earned, or are to be earned. It is an incident to a line haul and may be rendered preceding the line haul, during a line haul, as in transferring cars to a connecting road, or after the end of the line haul.
