In railroad precedence terminology, which term refers to the train that has priority over another?

• A. Superior Train
• B. Train
• C. Train of Superior Right
• D. Train of Superior Direction

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how priority is labeled in railroad operations. The train that has to be given the right of way over another is called a superior train. This term directly signals that it holds precedence, so crews know to yield to it or proceed first as dictated by the rules. The other options don’t match the standard label used to denote priority: a generic “train” is not about priority, and the phrases "train of superior right" or "train of superior direction" aren’t the conventional designation for the train that has precedence. Therefore, the term that best identifies the train with priority is the superior train.
