Which term refers to a track serving a commercial industry other than a railroad?

• A. Industry Track
• B. Main Track
• C. Schedule
• D. Current of Traffic

Answer: (A)

The term describes a track designated to serve a private commercial customer rather than the railroad’s own operations. An Industry Track is a siding or spur off the main line that provides access to factories, warehouses, or other customer facilities. It’s specifically used to handle traffic to and from those industries while keeping the main line clear for through trains.

The main track is the primary line used by the railroad’s through traffic, not a track intended for serving private customers. A schedule refers to the published times for trains, not a type of track. Current of Traffic is an older term related to the direction of movement on a track or within a yard, not to a track’s purpose or designation.
