Switching at Terminals and Enroute Sample Clauses

The "Switching at Terminals and Enroute" clause defines the procedures and responsibilities for transferring railcars or cargo between different rail lines or carriers at terminal points and during transit. In practice, this clause outlines how and when switching operations occur, who is responsible for performing the switch, and any associated costs or timing requirements. For example, it may specify that the originating carrier must deliver cars to a connecting carrier at a designated interchange point, or that certain fees apply for enroute switching services. The core function of this clause is to ensure smooth coordination and clear allocation of duties during the transfer of goods between carriers, thereby minimizing delays and disputes in multi-carrier rail transport.
