Well, what DOES it mean?

An el is a line built high above ground level as a way to get past
existing roads and structures without tunnelling or too much
demolition.

In other words, an elevated section - so why not use the word 'elevated'
instead of a term that nobody's heard of?

You don't do cryptic crosswords! El is commonly used in British
crosswords - if you see the word 'railway' in the clue one of the
things it could be is 'EL'.
