What term describes a train that has precedence over another train?

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

Answer: (A)

The concept here is priority on the railroad. A train that has precedence over others is described as the superior train, meaning it has the right of way and other trains must yield or wait when routes could conflict. This term is the standard designation used in operating rules and train orders to indicate which train takes precedence. The other phrasing isn’t used in practice, and a generic “train” doesn’t convey the higher priority the superior train carries.
