distance between an Axle Counter and Point Toe/ Fouling Point Toe on the track
Je pense que "point toe" correspond à "toe of the points", mais je ne sais pas du tout comment traduire ce terme.
Idem dans l'expression "fouling point toe" : toe ???
Merci d'avance pour votre aide !

entrée de l'aiguillage
Toe - The description of the shape of a turnout is taken from a foot. The toe end being the single road input into the turnout, and the heel the exit route which can be either two or three road if a standard or three way turnout. The assumed place for track feeds is from the 'toe end'. The toe end we have two stock rails - the two fixed rails that extend the full length of the turnout.

butée du point d'accrochage
As two tracks converge into one, there are two points of significance. One is the clearance point, which is where cars should normally be left if parked. The other is the fouling point, which is where a car on one track would physically hit a car on the adjacent track.
If you consider a siding beside a main track, the clearance point in the siding is typically where the straight track starts to turn toward the main track turnout. At this point, a car parked in the siding would have the normal clearance of several feet between it and a train passing on the main track.
The fouling point is closer to the turnout. If a car was parked right at the fouling point, and a train went past on the main track, there would be no clearance between the vertical handgrabs on the car parked in the siding, and the cars of the passing train.
