Railway next to the main track (6)

I believe the answer is:

siding

(Other definitions for siding that I've seen before include "Railway spur" , "Short stretch of railroad track used for shunting" , "Short branch line" , "Short piece of railway track used for shunting" , "Railway marshalling area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
