In my example, the embankment refers to a strip of land that is level with the area at the south, and that is raised above the surrounding area that slowly goes downhill; but after a few hundred meters it slowly goes up again, and the railway is level again. Imagine a valley with a viaduct, only in a smaller scale and with a "non-bridge" (sorry I can't be more precise; I have no idea what the correct English name is). At both ends the embankment is actually level with the ground, and should not be marked as embankment IMHO.
