lineside
Along the tracks
Lineside refers to the area alongside a railway track.
The term appears mainly in British railway contexts, describing the strip of land immediately adjacent to the rails: lineside vegetation, lineside equipment.
Railway workers conduct lineside inspections, and trainspotters gather at lineside locations to watch passing trains.
