Junction box / raceway

[CCCI]

Could a in ground junction box be looked at as a racway? I am adding a new service to an outside location and i have existing j-boxes. May they share boxes with branch circuits or would that be the same raceway?
I know that service conductors may not share the same raceway with other conductors.

In my opinion, a junction box would never be considered a raceway but it would be a part of a raceway system. :smile:

Doesn't sound like a JB to me.
