Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004152

A passing of two trains travelling in the same direction on a single track, in which the slower train is put into a siding so the faster one can overtake it. It differs from a meet, where trains travelling in opposite directions cross each other. The word also names a free or reduced-fare travel document issued to employees and other approved holders.
