Italian term or phrase: quota del piano del ferro
I'll be boring everyone with railway terminology for a while...
Ok, piano di ferro is easy, it's the railhead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railhead
but the "quota"...can't really pin it down.

"Si definisce "quota del piano del ferro" (quota PF) la quota del piano orizzontale passante per la generatrice superiore del fungo della rotaia bassa: essa coincide con il piano di rotolamento delle due rotaie quando la sopraelevazione è nulla."
