What is the meaning of rail?

Definition

noun (English)

1. (electronics) A conductor maintained at a fixed electrical potential relative to ground, to which other circuit components are connected.Examples: "ISA devices draw power from the +5 V, −5 V, +12 V, and −12 V rails of the power supply unit."; "There has been another, fairly gradual change in the ATX specification: Initially a lot of power was supplied on the 5V and 3.3V rails, but over time more and more power shifted to 12V because it's more efficient. Modern (ATX12V 2.x) PSUs supply most of their power on the 12V rail and not a lot on the 5V rail, which means a modern PSU may not be able to supply an old board, unless it's a really beefy PSU—because providing 500W on the 12V rail is of very little use to an AT or early ATX system."
