We're back to the "multiple definitions of railroad" problem, which always comes up when that term enters discussion.
Some people use it to mean a linear campaign where one event leads to another and if the players try to wander "over there" and explore what's off the edge of the map, they miss out on the actual story.
Some people use it to mean a situation where it looks like there should be room to wander but the DM brutally shuts down any attempts to do so.
