a track arrangement where three rails converge to allow trains to change direction
A wye is a type of railway track arrangement that allows a train to change direction. It consists of three connected tracks shaped like the letter "Y," with two tracks leading into a central point and one track branching off from the point. This setup enables trains to turn around without needing to reverse or uncouple, making it useful for switching tracks or for turning locomotives in places where there is not enough space for a larger loop. Wyes are commonly found in areas where space is limited or when trains need to change direction efficiently.
- The railway station had a wye that enabled trains to maneuver onto different tracks efficiently.
