Mildly surprised this wasn't here before, as a Google search for "switchback railway" throws up 795 hits including many American ones. My Oxford Reference Dictionary does say this usage is "Brit." though, so I've followed that; it's certainly quite familiar to me, and personally I'd be more likely to use it in this sense than to mean "hairpin turn".
