OverpassAn overpass, called an overbridge or flyover in the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth countries, is a bridge, road, railway or similar structure that is over another road or railway. An overpass and underpass together form a grade separation. Stack interchanges are made up of several overpasses.
Flagman (rail)On the railroads, a flagman is an employee of the railroad who is assigned to protect contractors or anyone performing work on a railroad right of way.

Horse-drawn vehicleA horse-drawn vehicle is a wheeled vehicle pulled by horses to carry passengers or a load. They were common during the horse-drawn era, though have mostly been replaced by automobiles and other mechanized transport. Some are still in use today in rural areas, and also for pleasure, tourists, and sport. Many vehicles have been preserved and are on display in carriage museums and transport museums.
Light railLight rail (or light rail transit, abbreviated to LRT) is a form of passenger urban rail transit that uses rolling stock derived from tram technology, while having the capability to operate rolling stock on exclusive right of ways, on grade-separated section as well as in mixed traffic conditions. This capability gives LRT a greater flexibility than other transit modes. "Light" refers to the lighter passengers capacity of a line compared to rapid transit.
Reserved trackReserved track, in tram transport terminology, is track on ground exclusively for trams. This can be in the form of a dedicated part of a street, or a reserved section of tracks that are isolated from other traffic. DescriptionUnlike a street running track embedded in streets and roads, a reserved track does not need to accommodate the transit of other wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, or horses.
MassMass is an intrinsic physical quantity of a body which in modern physics is generally defined as the strength of an object's gravitational attraction to other bodies. The unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) is the kilogram (kg). Mass can also be understood as a measure of the energy content of a body (see E=mc²).
TrailA trail, also known as a path or track, is a dirt road or a small pavedroad, usually through an undevelopednatural area, that is designed primarily for use by pedestrians, equestrians and non-motorized vehicles, although occasionally some off-roadingmotor vehicles may also use it. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, footpath or hiking trail is the preferred term. However, it is sometimes applied to highways in North America.Bar gateA bar (post, pole, beam, or boom gate, also known as a boom or a boom barrier) is a beam or bar on a pivot used as a gate. The boom is lowered to block vehicular or pedestrian access through a controlled point or raised to permit such traffic. Typically, the bar has a 90° range of motion with a vertical raised resting position and a horizontal lowered resting position. Bar gates, especially manually operated ones, are often counterweighted to allow easier manual control.

Although many terms are uniform across different nations and companies, they are by no means universal, with differences often originating from parallel development of rail transport systems in different parts of the world, and in the national origins of the engineers and managers who built the inaugural rail infrastructure.
Right of wayA right of way (also right-of-way) is a specific route that people, animals, vehicles, watercraft, or utility lines travel, or the legal status that gives them the right to do so.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
