How do lines of latitude and longitude divide the world into grids?
On maps, lines of latitude divide the Earth into "rings" of mainly 18 parts with each "ring" having 10 degrees latitude. Lines of longitude then cut across the lines of latitude and thus forming grids. There are mainly 36 lines of longitude spaced at 10 degrees longitude apart.

How did railroads create the four American time zones?
When the transcontinental railroad was completed in the 1860s, there was no standard time. Towns and cities used their own time and so did regional railroads, and this made for huge problems and hazards in establishing railroad timetables. It was nearly impossible to establish schedules, which not only made it difficult to establish arrivals and departures but also created a situation where trains running on different schedules could have costly and fatal collisions. So in 1883 at the behest of the railroad companies, the United States adopted a system of official time zones based on lines of longitude.
What is the exact point where a line of latitude and a line of longitude meet?

What is switching and terminal railroads?
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.
