wide-body trains passing each other on a double track


Explanation:
See the other question for refs. on the wide body part, but here's one for doble vía:

Definition línea ferroviaria provista de dos vías contiguas y paralelas. Permite la circulación simultánea de trenes en los dos sentidos, una vía para cada sentido de marcha, si bien caben también otros métodos de explotación
Reference Dic. transportes públicos urbanos y suburbanos, 1986
(1) TERM doble vía
Reference Dic. transportes públicos urbanos y suburbanos, 1986


(1) TERM double-track
Reference statistisches Bundesamt
Note {DOM} transport statistics:traffic statistics{GRM} n.
(2) TERM double track
Reference Lex.ferrov.
Note {DOM} transport statistics:traffic statistics{GRM} n.p.

I don't think the trains are crossing the track, but passing each other on the double track.

Hope it helps.
