Do U.S. rail companies allow Canadian rail companies access to their rail lines using interswitching, and what are the rules regulating this?

I don't know what the rules are in the United States.
I know that the Canadian carriers do carry railcars into the U.S., but I don't know the extent to which they do it over their own rail lines versus other peoples' rail lines. There is interswitching that occurs, but I don't know the process by which that works.
