overtrack

Where it comes from

From over- + track.

adjective

not comparable Over and above a railway track. Relics of the old GWR broad gauge are rare on the national network. This overtrack canopy was one such, so the decision by the C&WR to retrieve it after electrification necessitated its demolition was a brave one, because its condition by then was parlous.
Similar: overline
