Dive-under

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001770

A railway engineering structure where one track passes underneath another track or set of tracks. This grade separation eliminates conflicting movements at a junction, allowing trains on both lines to proceed simultaneously. Dive-unders are a form of flyover, but with the lower track passing beneath.
