"La distancia que separa el EOA [end of authority, authorization from the signaling system to proceed] del punto de peligro (Danger Point o DP), punto situado por detrás del EOA y que puede ser el extremo inicial de un cantón ocupado, el piquete de vía o la punta de una aguja."
The Diccionario políglota del tren
http://books.google.com/books?id=W6TRwFNf71cC&
gives me "track marker peg," but I can't find much support for this usage in the real world.
US English would be ideal, but UK English would also be helpful.

Dear Kathryn:
I found the same as you:
Piquete de vía is: track marking peg (see page 344)
Piquete is: peg
Piquete de entrevías = track convergence marker
I also cross referenced it against this dictionary (which unfortunately is in Portuguese), but I guess, quite understandable and the fouling point appears to the same as “Clearance point”.

FOULING POINT - distância entre os eixos de vias diretas e desviadas a partir da qual não há choque de veículos; o mesmo que Clearance Point
I don't mean to muddy the waters, here.
HTH. Un abrazo.
