| Domain | Definition |
Agriculture | Generally refers to a string of freight cars that all carry the same commodity, frequently over long distances. Unit trains are widely used to haul such raw commodities as coal and grains, because they are less costly for railroads than mixed freight shipments. Unit trains have become a point of contention between agricultural shippers and the railroads, mainly because the shippers are increasingly being asked to fill longer unit trains (for example, 104 hoppers), which many local elevators are not equipped to handle.

Mining | A system delivering coal more efficiently in which a string of cars, with distinctive markings, and loaded to "full visible capacity," is operated without service frills or stops along the way for cars to be cut in andout, from the loading place to the point of delivery. (references) |
Shipping | A train of a specified number of railcars, perhaps 100, which remain as a unit for a designated destination or until a change in routing is made. (references) |
