A terminal railroad (TRRA in St. Louis, Belt Railway and Elgin, Joliet and Eastern near Chicago for example) is a short railroad, usually in an urban area, usually owned by several other mainline railroads, that connects several lines. A railroad that has cars to be transferred to another line will hand them off to the terminal railroad, which will switch them to the receiving line. An example would be if the Norfolk Southern had a car to go to the Wisconsin Central. It might give it to the BRC to run up to the WC.
This kind of operation has decreased in recient years as more lines have merged and made direct connections between lines.

Which wire will be connect at NO or NC contact?
NO stands for Normally Open and NC is Normally Closed. It references a switching application. It is the base state of the switch. So if the load is connected to the NC terminal it will usually be energized and when the switching device is activated the circuit will open and the load will be de-energized. The NO terminal would have the load de-energized until the switch was activated and then it would be energized.
