Dear all,

in my post from 07th June 2017 I made a mistake. The usage of "sidingTrack" properly corresponds to German "Nebengleis". Thank you to Ferri for pointing that out.

So we corrected "nicht-durchgehendes Hauptgleis" to "secondaryTrack".
"stationTrack" would also be possible but we rather want to avoid it since "station" is not a well-defined element in railML and a siding would also be a track in a station.

What really would be needed is a railML expression for a "loop" track in a station (loop for overtaking and/or crossing). For the moment, we added a remark in Wiki that "secondaryTrack" shall include loops. For railML 3, may be Christian could have an eye on clarifying the ambiguity between stationTracks, loops, sidings and secondaryTracks.

So our German assignment is:
* Durchgehendes Hauptgleis == mainTrack
* nicht-durchgehendes Hauptgleis == secondaryTrack
* Gleisverbindung == connectingTrack
* Nebengleis == sidingTrack

Ferri already created a matrix table at [1] and corrected it. Thank you very much!

Any objections against correcting the blue German explanations under @type at [2] corresponding to the new table at [1]?

With best regards,
Dirk.
