By definition, reciprocal switching is âan interchange of inbound and outbound carload freight among railroads in which the cars are switched by one railroad to or from the siding of another under a regular switching charge that is usually absorbed by the carrier receiving the line-haul.â.
A reciprocal is the result you get upon reciprocating something,  where to reciprocate is to calculate 1/x, with x the thing to be  reciprocated.   The reciprocal of 2 â¦ is 1/2, that of x2+376x is  1/(x2+376x).The reciprocal of 1 is 1, and that of zero  is undefined since x/0 is undefined for all x. Obviously if you  start with a fraction, the numerator and denominator switch:    1/(a/b) is the same as 1*(b/a)=b/a.
