An open rail station simply means that another rail carrier can access a facility. For example, if a station is open, BNSF and the UP would both have access to that customer. Shortlines can also be a serving carrier. A closed rail station is one that has only one serving carrier. For example, a customer with a BNSF closed facility would be served by the BNSF only.
