Baulk road is the name given to a type of railway track or 'rail road' that is formed using rails carried on continuous timber bearings, as opposed to the more familiar 'cross-sleeper' track that uses closely spaced sleepers or ties to give intermittent support to stronger rails. Baulk road was popularised by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for his 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2,140 mm) broad gauge railways in the UK, but has also been used for other railways and can still be found in modified form in special locations on present day railways.

  • Una vía longitudinalmente apoyada (en inglés, baulk road) es el nombre dado a un tipo de vía férrea que se forma utilizando carriles colocados sobre vigas de madera continuas, en oposición a la vía más usual, que utiliza durmientes dispuestos transversalmente con un cierto espaciamiento. Este tipo de vía fue popularizado por el ingeniero Isambard Kingdom Brunel en sus ferrocarriles de gran ancho de vía (2140 mm (7'0,30")) en el Reino Unido, pero también se ha utilizado en otros ferrocarriles y todavía se puede encontrar en forma modificada en ubicaciones especiales de ferrocarriles actuales.
