Not being familiar with Galesburg, but assuming that the "Business Stub" you
referred to was at the passenger depot and would be a likely spot to place
Business cars, that, in that case your assumption is correct regarding Business
cars rather than "teaming freight.
Basic rule...."context determines meaning".

So would I be correct in assuming that the Business Stub at Galesburg was named
for this reason? I was under the impression the Business Stub got its name from
the fact that they park the business cars there.

Ralph,
"Team" as of, a guy that had a teaming horse. Went to
a town and paid for business and then hauled it to your
farm or selling/buying it.
Many other places on the C&BQ did not use that. Like in
Wisconsin they called it "Business Track". They did not
use "Team".
