gauntlet track
Gauntlet track or interlaced track (also gantlet track) is an arrangement in which railway tracks run parallel on a single track bed and are interlaced (i.e. overlapped) such that only one pair of rails may be used at a time. Since this requires only slightly more width than a single track, all rails can be carried on the same crossties/sleepers. Trains run on the discrete pair of rails appropriate to their direction, track gauge or loading gauge.
The term ''gauntlet'' is derived not from ''gauntlet'' meaning a type of glove, but from the expression ''running the gauntlet'' (originally ''running the gantlope'') which means running between two confining rows of adversaries; ''gauntlet'' in this sense is a "corrupt form".
