A siding is a railway track that serves the operator's or other entrepreneur' s own needs and is connected (in the Czech legal environment) to a national or regional railway or to another siding. As a rule, it is a track connecting a railway station with an industrial facility and at the same time a track on the premises of the industrial facility.
