Switching LCL freight at the Billings MT terminal
Less-than-carload, abbreviated LCL, refers to freight that is insufficient in weight to fill a freight car and therefore not qualifying for a carload rate. The Northern Pacific Railroad considered less-than-carload an important part of the transportation of freight both for the NP and the customers that make small business shipments. The NP used truck trailers as well as boxcars to handle LCL shipments. Fully loaded boxcars arrived at a freight terminal and were spotted alongside empty boxes into which freight was transferred for shipment to businesses down the line.
 
Switching piggybacks (TOFC) at the Billings MT ramp
The Northern Pacific Transport Company, a subsidiary of the the NP railway, was an integral part of the less-than-carload operation which was important to the NP. The railroad operated LCL piggyback service daily Monday through Fri from Superior Wis to Portland Oregon. Trailers-on-flatcar (TOFC) service ramps were located at several principal cities on the NP system.
