Balked[edit]

Most common use of this term is the verb balked, or to balk, but since this is not a dictionary project, not sure how to indicate that here, beyond the wiktionary link. maybe a sentence and link to wiktionary at the article on the baseball term.

Isn't it also a term used for a type siding on railway track? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.190.221 (talk) 05:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may be thinking of baulk road track, in which the rails are laid on longitudinal timber beams (or baulks) instead of on the more usual transverse ties (a.k.a. sleepers). -- Picapica (talk) 15:19, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
