There are also terminals such as railway freight stations and truck terminals that act as links between land transport means.

貨物の協同一貫輸送のため,一つのターミナルに異なった種類の輸送機関のターミナル機能を一体化させたもの。貨物輸送においては,海上輸送と陸上輸送の結節点として港湾が,航空輸送と陸上輸送の結節点として空港があり,これらは異種の輸送機関を結ぶ結節点として機能している。また鉄道の貨物駅,トラック・ターミナルのように陸上輸送相互の連絡をする役割をもつターミナルもある。これらのターミナルの機能はさまざまであるが,いずれにも共通することは,輸送手段特性に応じて,本線輸送と端末輸送を結合する機能を果たしていることである。
