Laying railway tracks
Is this vertical geometrics?
Here is the context:
Pääasiallinen syy on ................ maasto-olosuhteet, jotka joudutaan kiertämään ratalinjauksen pystygeometriavaatimusten vuoksi.
So:
The main reason is the terrain ............... , which would have to be bypassed, owing to the vertical geometric requirements of the rail track route
Does that make any sense?
thanks in advance

See usage in attached Wikipedia entry. This seems like pretty obvious mimicry of this English term.
