A refuge siding is a single-ended, or dead-end, siding off a running line,[1] which may be used to temporarily accommodate a train so that another one can pass it. For example, a refuge siding might be used by a slow goods train to allow a fast passenger train to pass.[2] It is similar in concept to a passing loop but is connected to the main line at only one end, rather than both ends.
