A comment on What’s a Gadgetbahn? (2017).
To nitpick bahn[0] can refer to these concepts, but actually has a wider meaning. The most well known of these is of course the Autobahn.
I've always taken it to be closer to the British English word 'way' as used in railway, motorway and right-of-way.
Perhaps Gadgetway would be a more consistent term, or even Gerätbahn if we're going for a full loanword.
