⩥ Gap, Air.
Answer: A device within the OCS that permits sectionalization of the
traction power within defined power zones.
⩥ Gap Section, Bridgeable.
Answer: A break or distance between contact rail sections, which can be
bridged by vehicle collector shoes on a single car.
⩥ Gap Section, Non-Bridgeable.
Answer: A break or distance between contact rail sections, which cannot
be bridged by vehicle collector shoes on a single car, thus preventing
continuous electrical power to the train.
⩥ Grade Crossing.
Answer: A location where a public highway, road, street, or private
roadway, including associated sidewalks and pathways, crosses one or
more railroad tracks at grade level.
⩥ Ground Inspection.
,Answer: An inspection performed by the Train Operator at track level to
ensure that there are no obstacles or conditions that would prevent the
safe movement of the train.
⩥ Guard Rail.
Answer: A rail mounted to the inside of the running rail designed to keep
the wheels in line with the track at frogs.
⩥ Guideway.
Answer: Elevated dedicated mainline track structure designed to provide
grade separated train operation.
⩥ Hanger.
Answer: A vertical fitting on the catenary system, spaced at regular
intervals, which suspends the contact wire from the messenger wire.
⩥ Hazard.
Answer: A condition that may cause injury, death, damage or loss to
equipment/property.
⩥ Headway.
Answer: The time interval between two trains, both traveling in the same
direction on the same track, measured at a specific reference point.
,⩥ Heavy Rail Vehicle.
Answer: An electrically propelled, passenger carrying rail vehicle
powered by contact rail.
⩥ Hi-Rail Equipment.
Answer: Tire mounted vehicles equipped with flanged steel wheels that
allow the vehicle to travel on tracks and roadways.

, ⩥ Indicator, Switch Position.
Answer: A signal, which provides information regarding switch position.
⩥ Interlocking.
Answer: An arrangement of signals, switches, and control apparatus
interconnected such that functions shall succeed each other in a
predetermined sequence, which permits train movement over routes only
when non-conflicting conditions exist.
⩥ Intermediate Cab.
Answer: Cab, which is not the leading or trailing cab of a train.
⩥ Island Circuit.
Answer: A track circuit located in or near roadways of each grade
crossing which, upon train occupancy, will call and hold crossing gates
down.
⩥ Jersey Barrier/K-Rail.
Answer: Concrete divider, which separates the rail Right-of-Way from
vehicular traffic.
⩥ Junction.
Answer: A location where main tracks diverge or cross.
