 Railroad switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gantlet track (in British and Australian English: gauntlet, or gauntleted, track) refers to the situation where tracks converge onto a single roadbed and are interlaced to pass through a narrow passage such as a cut, bridge, or tunnel.
Gantlet tracks are commonly used when a rail line's capacity is increased with the addition of an additional track, but cost or other factors prevent the widening of the bridges.
Gantlet track is typically used for short stretches of track where it is cheaper to provide extra rails than to provide switches and reduce the line to single track.

The track was doused with liberal coating of soap and water, courtesy of Dodge Concrete, in preparation for the "Gauntlet Car", a full sized, 4 door Cadillac piloted by track promoter Terry Tucker, with chief scorekeeper, John Kamenick as Copilot/Gunner.
The goal of the Gauntlet car is to complete an 8 lap race, while the goal of the compacts is to insure that it does not.
As the compacts closed with the Gauntlet car, the gunner’s job was to hurl water, flour sacks, fruits and vegetables to impair the charging driver’s visibility.

An offset track ( or set of rails) in which both rails are approximately one foot farther from a side obstruction than the corresponding rails of the parent track which is connected to at both ends by switch points with no turnout frog.
Because centerline of gauntlet track is offset from centerline of bridge ( or when both tracks are equally off-centered) care must be exercised when evaluating the effects of a heavily loaded car on the bridge structure when such a car is using off-centered track.
Track Centerline, as viewed in upright plane, should not be confused with vertical for obstructions in curves where there is track superelevation.

In order to develop a track alignment through the Corridor, which was both operationally feasible and cost-effective, it was necessary to review each of the 39 bridges along the route, determine the feasibility of single or double track alignment through the existing bridge, and estimate the cost of modifications required.
Since a single track with sufficient clearance for full-size railroad freight trains is presently in place, either a single track or gauntlet vintage trolley alignment is readily possible.
A second track can be built in the southerly opening, but to do so would require a retaining wall on the south side of the track.
