Hi Vasco,

the regulations for train operations (Ril 408.0101A01) give the
following definitions:

Durchgehendes Hauptgleis: Main tracks of the line and their continuation
in the station.
Hauptgleis: Tracks which are driven by trains regularly.
Nebengleis: Tracks which are not driven by trains regularly.

So the current explanation of secondaryTrack in the railML wiki ("This
is a track not frequently used.") should be expanded for describing
"nicht-durchgehendes Hauptgleis".
The same counts for sidingTrack in the meaning of "Nebengleis".

I hope this feedback is helpful for you.

Best regards,
Christoph Klaus
