I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Railroad jargon

Posted by Blind Bruce on Thursday, May 12, 2005 9:34 AM

Is there a publication or website that defines the language of railroads. I know simple terms like "team track" and "rip" track but there are many many more that I hear of but do not know what they mean. Hogger is an engineer isn't it?
