Example
Engineers designed the wye to facilitate smooth transitions between railway lines.
Train conductors use the wye to position their locomotives for onward journeys along various routes.
At the wye, the locomotive was turned around to head back in the opposite direction.
The railway station had a wye that enabled trains to maneuver onto different tracks efficiently.
The wye is essential for railways operating in regions with limited space for turning trains.
