A siding can also refer to a stretch of Rail Tracks ( Crossing Loop s) that provides a place for a Train to stay temporarily while other trains pass on the Main Line . These structures are sometimes called "passing tracks" in the US . In British terminology, sidings connected at both ends are called loops ( Loop (rail) ), while only sidings connected at one end are called sidings. Thus passing sidings are called Crossing Loop s . This configuration allows the sequence of trains along a track to change and trains or trams to pass one another where a route is predominantly single tracked. |
