What is a "train meet"?
A train meet refers to the situation when two trains traveling in opposite directions arrive at the same location on a track at roughly the same time. In this case, one train must stop and wait for the other to pass to avoid a collision. Train meets typically occur at designated passing points or sidings where tracks are arranged to allow trains to safely pass each other. The process requires careful scheduling and coordination to ensure safety and prevent delays.
Examples
Train meets are carefully scheduled to prevent accidents on busy rail routes.
