double track
Two-way railway line
Double track refers to a railway line with two parallel tracks, allowing trains to travel in both directions simultaneously without waiting for oncoming traffic to pass.
The verb means to add a second track to a single-track line: The railroad plans to double track the busy commuter corridor.
In audio recording, double tracking layers a performance with a second take to create a fuller sound.
