via permanente e trilho

My comment:

Track é mais abrangente, pois inclui os acessórios, infra-estrutura, etc. "Rail" é o trilho propriamente dito, as vigas de aço com aquela seção transversal característica.

Veja o que diz o Webster's:

track (trak)
n.
8 a pair of parallel metal rails, with their crossties, etc., on which trains, streetcars, etc. run
