<div class="moz-cite-prefix">A local railway corridor is having a
third track added specifically to carry freight. It can also carry
passengers but that would be an exception. It may have a
'lower-spec' for smoothness .. but in all other regards it has at
least the same speck. <br>
There is some political pressure to encourage the use of railway
rather than road services for carriage of freight. <br>
Most of the longer Australian railway lines carry far more freight
than passengers, and the lines are significantly less comfortable
for passengers due to it!<br>
I'd not recommend any of the longer Australian railway passenger
trips if you want some comfort. <br>
<br>
As far as tagging goes I would not distinguish between then ..
both can be used for the other when required. <br>

Reading the wiki page, it appears the writer is confused
as well, stating in the last paragraph, that the
'passenger' bit is redundant as "all kinds of tracks
connecting the same railway stations or junction should
be counted with no regard to the train services running
on it." & it's a "workaround" for tracks.<br>
