In forty some years of railroading, there are certain word usages and terms used by railfans that railroaders could always identify. One of these is "lashup". If I ever heard a railroader use the term, I can't remember it. Railroaders refer to these as "consists". I think "lashup" became popular in the early years of EXTRA 2200 SOUTH, and Dave Ingles of TRAINS loves the term. Fans must have picked up the term to appear "hip". It's sorta like the media like to refer to pistols as handguns, but even rifles and assault weapons fit the term. But you never hear media references to pistols, any more, and it's a shame. But that's the way we Old Timers are . . .
