Definition

A modeling entity collecting information about a railway track.

Description

A railway track consists of (usually) two parallel rails, usually of steel, generally mounted upon cross beams (termed 'railroad ties' (US) or 'sleepers' (UK) ) of timber, concrete or steel. The underlying support maintains the rails at a fixed distance (gauge) apart. Usually vehicles running on the rails are arranged in a train (a series of individual powered or unpowered vehicles linked together). In the case of a monorail, only a single rail is employed and the vehicles may be either suspended underneath or straddle an especially wide rail.
