Hi All,
Has anyone found a way to terminate a line with the 9v Track? I know it can
be done with the 12v stuff, but I wanted to build a freight yard with
multiple terminators for loading and unloading and I have no clue how. Could
I run a set of wires from the terminated rails to the rest of the track to
patch the power? Any Ideas?

Cheers,

Yes, that is an good solution that many have used. You need to electrically
isolate the track after the switch points. You could do so in a variety of
ways, some not very 'Lego Politically Correct.' Use your imagination.

Power should be applied to each applicable terminus that you have (that's a
lot of regulators if have more than one terminus).

Hope this helps.
