embankment

The train bore me away … we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.

The plane settled about 400 yards from the runway in an embankment off a five-lane highway.

“He climbed back up the embankment and slipped in the mud, got mad and chewed me out for half an hour,” Kronk said bitterly.

It was with surprise that he found himself, as often of late, on the embankment of the North Warigesui.
