Book Description
From Abadan to Zero Point, this dictionary provides an accessible guide to the fascinating language and lore which have grown up around railways since their invention in the early 19th century. It defines railway terms and includes proper names of trains, lines, companies, periodicals and manufacturers, as well as clarifying a profusion of abbreviations, acronyms and initials. The dictionary also interprets and explains in a clear, concise manner many foreign words and phrases, and the slang and colloquialisms used by professionals and amateurs alike. The text is enhanced by many helpful explanatory drawings and diagrams.
