Dutch term

kruismaat

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping trams, treinen
De geleiding van de aspotten in het draaistelraam moet zodanig worden ontworpen dat de aspotten, óók na langdurig gebruik van het draaistel, op recht spoor de hoekpunten van een rechthoek blijven vormen, zodat de parallelliteit en kruismaat van de wielassen is verzekerd.

diagonal distance/measure

I don't think 'kruismaat' is the correct term for anything, as it's hardly used anywhere outside the context of underwear...

But perhaps these Dutch + French links on a Danish web site can help you along:

Mesures en diagonale (mesures croisées)

I would say it's meant to be the distance between the left end of one axle and the right end of the second axle on a bogie. See this picture:

I'm not sure my English suggestions would be the best way to express this measure, hence the low confidence.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Ron, at least it gets me somewhere. (Indeed, I wasn't overly impressed getting confronted with so many highly private measuring suggestions, when conducting my search ;-) )
