German term or phrase: eingleisen

I know the standard translation is "to rerail" but this refers to placing a vehicle (adapted to railway, in this case a truck) on a track the first time. Rerail doesn't seem appropriate in this instance. Is there a particular term of art for this or will 'placing on rails" suffice?
I'm marking this non-pro, as it's probably easy for someone with expert subject-matter knowledge.
Thanks, Kevin

4 hrs confidence:

put on rails (placed on tracks)

Explanation:
Manchmal kann man Aufgleisen und Eingleisen gleichsetzen, besonders dann, wenn es sich um das erste Mal handelt.

At the work site or the nearest railway station, the rail-road vehicle is put on rails and can travel at a maximum speed of 4
km/h under own power.
Am Einsatzort oder nächstgelegenen Bahnhof wird das Zweiwegefahrzeug aufgegleist und kann mit einer maximalen
Eigenfahrtgeschwindigkeit von 4 km/h bewegt werden.

The process is put on rails by close mentoring that inculcates passion, compassion, and commitment for ethics and moral aspects.

Ist hier in etwa mit "auf die Schienen/Gleise stellen" übersetzbar.

Diese Spurweite ist für das Aufsetzen des Stabilisationsaggregates 9 auf die Schienen 12 (Eingleisen) vorgesehen.

Die sehr leichte Bauweise ermöglicht das händische Eingleisen ohne Hilfsmittel.
Owing to its light weight it can easily be placed on tracks even without the aid of mechanical equipment.
