Which option accurately describes a crossover?

• A. The power supply to LRVs
• B. Switches and tracks so arranged to provide a route from one track to another
• C. The control room
• D. The train's makeup

Answer: (B)

A crossover is a track arrangement that connects two parallel tracks so a train can move from one to the other. It uses a pair of switches (points) and a connecting track to create a path between the two lines, allowing lane changes or access to a different route without stopping or reversing. This is exactly what the description refers to: switches and tracks laid out to provide a route from one track to another. It isn’t about the power supply, the control room, or the train’s makeup, which is why those options don’t fit.
