Spanish term or phrase: anillo ferroviario
Stuck, I'm afraid. I can't work out if this should be ring / network / loop or what... We're talking about El *Anillo Ferroviario* de Pruebas y Experimentación de xxxx.

If only I could find the right document to assure me what this should be called in English, but I'm hoping one of you can help me and tell me that the answer was obvious!

disagree  NKW (X): A loop line is a place where slower trains are held to allow the passage of faster trains or a branch that roughly follows the route of the primary line (e.g. the Catford Loop).
