A short line is a railroad with limited track mileage, typically operating regionally rather than across long distances.
Short lines often serve as feeders to major railroads, handling local freight: The grain elevator ships via a short line that connects to Union Pacific.
In poetry and typography, a short line is simply a line with fewer words or characters than others on the page.
