Railway line

A railway line is a line of communication made up by rail exclusively for the use of railway vehicles. Lines are one or more adjacent running tracks forming a route between two points. Where a section of network comprises two or more lines running alongside one another, there are as many lines as routes to which tracks are allotted exclusively. A running track is a track providing end-to-end line continuity designed for trains between stations or places indicated in tariffs as independent points of departure or arrival for the conveyance of passengers or goods. A track is a pair of rails over which rail borne vehicles can run.
