Railroad tracks are an essential part of the railroad system, consisting of two parallel steel rails that provide a path for trains to travel. The rails are held in place by wooden or concrete ties, and the entire track is known as the right-of-way. The term 'railroad track' can also refer to the entire network of tracks, including sidings and lines. A siding is a short section of track that branches off the main LINE and is used for passing or storing trains. A LINE is a continuous section of track that connects two or more stations. Together, these components form the railroad track, which is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the railroad system.
