Freight terminal vs rail terminal
Both receive wagons and both are terminals. The difference is the service: one sells loading and unloading, the other takes the wagon onto its own ground.
Terminal
A terminal (freight yard, container terminal, logistics center or bonded warehouse) sells a service: loading, unloading, weighing, storage, container handling. It has a tariff, opening hours and a number of orders it can take today (slots). On YukSaroy the owner runs the terminal page from the dashboard.
Private siding
A private siding is a rail track from the station into a company's premises: a plant, a grain elevator, a warehouse. It may sell no service at all, but it receives the wagon on its own ground, so the cargo lands straight in the warehouse. On the site they are grouped by station and node; coordinates are approximate, node level.
Which one
- Fast handling, weighing, container transfer: terminal.
- Wagon straight to your warehouse: a siding, yours or a neighbour's by agreement.
- Customs clearance: a bonded warehouse.
