Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cue for depth perception described in the question is linear perspective, which occurs when parallel lines (in this case, railroad tracks) appear to converge in the distance. Interposition refers to one object appearing to block or overlap another, connectedness involves the perception of objects as belonging together based on their visual connectedness, and continuity refers to the perception of a continuous pattern or structure. None of these cues are directly related to the visual phenomenon described in the question.
