brake tender

By the beginning of April at least seven green-liveried diesel brake tenders had been delivered to Toton depot and were being tested with B.R. Sulzer Type 4 diesels.

1962 June, “Motive Power Miscellany: London Midland Region”, in Modern Railways, page 423:

(rail transport, UK) A railway vehicle which provided extra braking on freight trains with unfitted wagons (without automatic brakes) hauled by diesel locomotives, which being generally lighter than steam locomotives had less braking power. With the phasing out of unfitted wagons the brake tenders became redundant.


local train

For all the attention on express trains, it's often local trains that tip the railway into congestion.

2021 June 30, Philip Haigh, “Regional trains squeezed as ECML congestion heads north”, in RAIL, number 934, page 53:

(rail transport) A train (either the service or the train itself) making stops at all stations along its route.

regionaltog

train or train service serving all or almost all stations along its route

各駅停車 (kakueki teisha, literally “stopping at every station”)

普通列車 (futsū ressha, literally “ordinary train”)

commuter train

esp. if primarily used by or intended for commuter

parliamentary train

especially if stops are made for legal reasons and not any actual/significant passenger demand


tracklifting

track lifting (alternative)
track-lifting (alternative)

Track-lifting began from Kirkby Stephen towards Stainmore at the beginning of May, writes A. G. S. Davies, and Class Q6 0-8-0s returned to the line to haul the demolition trains.

1962 July, “Talking of Trains: Barnard Castle trains withdrawn”, in Modern Railways, page 9:

(rail transport) The process of removal of railway track, in particular from a railway line permanently closed to traffic.


destination board

en-noun

destination board (plural destination boards)

At Kingsbridge, the bilingualism of the Irish Republic was evident in the tickets, the station notices, and the neat destination boards on the 10.40 a.m. express to Cork.

1955 May, Rev. A. W. V. Mace, “An Irish Journey—1”, in Railway Magazine, page 297:

[...] why not show in the train columns and notes the four-character code numbers, which are so useful, amongst other purposes, in helping the passenger identify his train at stations, now that fewer coaches bear destination boards?

1962 July, “Talking of Trains: The new all-line timetable”, in Modern Railways, page 11:

(rail transport) A board attached to the side of a railway carriage which indicates where the train is going to. More modern variants can be a dot-matrix display panel.


loopline

looplines (plural)
loop line (alternative)

[…] with the necessary looplines to avoid the broad gauge points at the intermediate stations, with a view to the direct transit of goods traffic along the Northern Railway and its extensions.

1882, Proceedings of the Parliament of South Australia, volume 1, page 237:

In settling the 1925–26 General Strike-Boycott, the British offered a $ 10 million loan to develop Whampoa Port, conditional upon the chief engineer and accountant being British, and upon the construction of the loopline.

1995, R. Yin-Wang Kwok, The Hong Kong-Guangdong Link: Partnership in Flux:

Between Raniganj railroad and the Rajmahal loopline a number of coal mines existed.

2006, Bhagawati Sharan Singh, Aspects of Industries in Bihar During the 19th Century, page 37:

It might be hidden away but it actually covers 30 hectres in all and can be reached from Salford's network of looplines or the historical Bridgewater Canal.

2020 February 25, Emma Gill, “The best family parks and walks in Salford”, in Manchester Evening News:

(rail transport) Alternative form of loop line.


car-sleeper

The Car-Sleeper is a British Railways ingenuity that has caught the Continental fancy. The convenience of the car for the short-distance journey is undeniable—but not so its comfort and relaxation for the long haul. The Car-Sleeper doesn't attempt to challenge the car's attractions for the start of the journey or its usefulness at destination; but it relieves driver and passengers of the strain of a gruelling long-distance drive, [...].

1962 July, Marcus Newman, “By Car-Sleeper to Switzerland”, in Modern Railways, page 48:

(rail transport, UK) A sleeping car train which also includes vehicles for carrying passengers' motor cars.

tender-first

In spite of their small size and low weight, many technical developments which have proved themselves in main-line service have been incorporated, and a novelty in the 2-6-0-type is a tender cab to improve the conditions of tender-first running.

1947 March and April, “L.M.S.R. Locomotive Developments”, in Railway Magazine, page 66:

For the first time known in over 10 years, a Stanier Pacific travelled the Windermere branch on June 23, when 46255 (12A) was seen at Aikrigg on an early afternoon local; it had to return tender-first as the Windermere turntable could not accommodate it.

1962 August, “Motive Power Miscellany: London Midland Region: Central Lines”, in Modern Railways, page 136:

(rail transport, also used adverbially) Of a steam locomotive with a tender (a tender locomotive), when it is operating in reverse, with the tender leading.


ferry wagon

One train ferry wagon, with the inscription "On hire to L.N.E.R.," was carrying British prisoners; and another odd sight was an L.N.E.R. container on a German flat wagon, offering "Door to Door Transport."

1946 March and April, “Notes and News: Train Watching in a P.O.W. Camp”, in Railway Magazine, page 117:

The first of 150 Continental-type four-wheel ferry wagons ordered by B.R. have been received for the Harwich/Zeebrugge train ferry service. Built by the Pressed Steel Co., the vans have a maximum capacity of 20½ tons in ordinary and 18 tons in express freight service.

1962 October, “New ferry wagons for B.R.”, in Modern Railways, page 225:

(rail transport, UK, dated) Any type of goods wagon built for train ferry traffic to and from continental Europe.


block section

"Permissive" working allows more than one train to be in a block section at one time but trains must be run at low speed in order to stop on sight behind the train in front. Such working is often authorised to allow freight trains to "bunch" together to await a path through a bottleneck instead of being strung out over several block sections, as would be necessary if absolute working were in force.

1962 October, “Talking of Trains: The collisions at Connington”, in Modern Railways, page 232:

(rail transport) In railway signalling, a section of track on which, in normal circumstances, only one train is allowed at one time.


steeple cab

steeple cabs (plural)
steeplecab (alternative)

All main line work is carried out by the Type 1s, whose principal design fault is offside "blindness", due to the position of the driving cab behind a long, high nose; a steeple cab would obviously be preferable.

1962 October, M.J. Wilson, “Three years of dieselisation at Devons Road depot”, in Modern Railways, page 265:

(rail transport) A centrally placed cab on some early electric locomotives.


trip working

en-noun

The provision of the new yard permitted closure of four existing installations, between which there was a great deal of trip working.

1962 October, G. Freeman Allen, “The New Look in Scotland's Northern Division—II”, in Modern Railways, page 267:

(rail transport, UK, uncountable) The operation of short-distance freight trains, e.g. between goods yards.


brake fade

To help prevent a runaway caused by brake fade, heavy trucks are required to stop at the top of the downgrade to give their brakes time to cool.

mechanical engineering
mechanical engineering

(automotive, rail transport, mechanical engineering) Partial or total loss of braking force with prolonged continuous or repetitive application of a heavy vehicle's brakes, due to the effects on the brake system of the heat generated by heavy braking.


cattle dock

The depot covers an area of 57 acres and consists of a shed 480ft by 207ft to handle both forwarded and received traffic, a combined office and amenities block, weighbridge and a cattle dock.

1962 December, “Talking of Trains: Walsall sundries concentration depot”, in Modern Railways, page 367:

(rail transport, UK, dated) A pen on a platform in a railway goods yard for cattle travelling by rail.


loading bank

(rail transport, UK, dated) A platform, often with a ramp at one or both ends, provided in a railway goods yard for the purpose of loading and unloading goods wagons.


union station

The Burlington had built a union station at the junction, but the Union Pacific refused to stop its trains there until it received an interest in the townsite.

1978 May, Alice Howell, “Railroads in Buffalo County”, in Buffalo Tales [a newsletter of the Buffalo County Historical Society, Buffalo County, Nebraska], volume 1, number 5, archived from the original on 2016-06-24:

(rail transport, US, Canada) A railroad station shared by more than one railroad company, usually to spread the costs and ease the logistics of serving a particular town by rail.


regenerative braking

Dead-man's handle, automatic train stop, quick-acting compressed-air brake specially suited for high-speed working, and regenerative braking are among the features of the new locomotives.

1947 March and April, “Swiss High-Speed Electric Locomotives”, in Railway Magazine, page 94:

Regenerative braking, whereby the car's kinetic energy is fed back to the supply line, has recently been introduced on the Kei-Han-Shin Kyuko Railway's commuter services feeding Osaka, instead of resistor braking, and on 52 lightweight cars built in 1960 and 1961 advantage has been taken of this feature to install constant speed controls.

1962 December, “Constant-speed electric multiple-units in Japan”, in Modern Railways, page 404:

Regenerative braking is retained. Like rheostatic braking, this uses the traction motors to provide a braking effort, but the current developed is fed back into the overhead catenary rather than dissipated through resistance banks.

2023 July 26, David Clough, “Technology progression defines Class 93”, in RAIL, number 988, page 54:

electrical engineering
electrical engineering

(rail transport, automotive, electrical engineering) A form of braking used on some electric vehicles in conjunction with the main braking system, where kinetic energy from braking is converted into electricity and fed back into the power supply by using the traction motors as generators.


burrowing junction

burrowing junction (plural burrowing junctions)

The latter and the Basle-Gotthard freight traffic will both pass through Othmarsingen, but an additional line here and a burrowing junction will keep the Gotthard freights clear.

1962 December, “Beyond the Channel: Switzerland: Transformation at Zurich”, in Modern Railways, page 417:

(rail transport) A junction where the diverging line descends to a level where it can pass under the main line, the purpose being the avoidance of conflicting movements.


Trans-Siberian Railway

Over the Trans-Siberian Railway, although the journey from Moscow to Vladivostock or Pekin, 5,800 and 5,629 miles distant respectively, still extends into the ninth day, it has been cut by about 10hr.

1962 December, “Beyond the Channel: U.S.S.R.: Train speeds still rising”, in Modern Railways, page 418:

(rail transport) A network of Russian railway lines which stretch from Moscow in the west to Vladivostok in the Far East.


user-worked

A near-miss between a Greater Anglia Class 755 and two cars on a user-worked level crossing near Wroxham is being investigated by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB).

2021 March 10, “RAIB investigates near-miss at user-worked crossing”, in RAIL, number 926, page 18:

(rail transport, UK) Of a level crossing, one where a railway crosses a right of way such as a road on private land, a footpath or a bridleway. Any gates or barriers provided often need to be operated manually, with some crossings requiring users to telephone a signaller to check that it is safe to cross.


non-bogie

A limit of 75 m.p.h., therefore, is reasonable—and will give wagon designers enough to keep them busy, he thinks, as the problems of stability for all categories of freight traffic are far from being solved at present, especially with non-bogie wagons.

1963 April, “Beyond the Channel: France: Freight stock of the future”, in Modern Railways, page 269:

(rail transport, of a vehicle) Not mounted on bogies; having wheels and axles not incorporated in bogies.

Jacobs bogie

The use of Jacobs bogies, where one bogie supports the ends of two carriages, reduces the number of axles, cutting wheel and track wear. [...] For example, lightweight construction and Jacobs bogies save weight, and a lighter train uses less power.

2021 May 19, David Clough, “Swiss precision meets UK growth”, in RAIL, number 931, pages 56, 57:

(rail transport) A design of bogie used for articulated passenger trains and trams, where the ends of two cars are mounted on the same bogie.


running powers

No wonder, then, that against a background of surging aggressive prosperity, South Wales built up during the last half of the nineteenth century a local railway system of great density and complexity, in which almost every company competed with every other in its area, and in which working agreements, running powers and strategic junctions ran riot across the railway map.

1939 September, D. S. Barrie, “The Railways of South Wales”, in Railway Magazine, page 158:

This was done, and in many cases still is done by the main-line railway groups, through the exercise of running powers, which on application to Parliament by the company using them have been granted for the express purpose of affording this access without the necessity for building independent tracks. In other cases, such running powers have been granted without recourse to Parliament, by voluntary agreement between the parties.

1940 May, “The Why and the Wherefore: Running Powers”, in Railway Magazine, page 318:

(rail transport, UK) Permission given in an agreement allowing one railway company to run trains over certain tracks belonging to another railway company.

retaining valve

retaining valve (plural retaining valves)

(rail transport, mechanical engineering) A device that retains some air pressure in a train's air brake cylinders even when the automatic brake valve is set to the fully-released position, used on steep downgrades to allow a degree of continuous braking effort to be maintained without depleting the pressure in the train's brakepipe (which would result in the loss of nearly all braking ability, causing a runaway).


railwayist

The importance of the British railways in the prosecution of the war makes it necessary to restrict the broad tolerance and even encouragement with which the railway companies in the past have viewed the enthusiasm of the railwayist.

1940 July, “Notes and News: The Appearance of Evil—A Warning to Railway Enthusiasts”, in Railway Magazine, page 418:

triple-headed

Some further pictures of his are reproduced at the head of this article and on page 557. One shows an example of a triple-headed train attacking the gradient, and results from one of the latest 2-10-4 "Selkirk" type locomotives, which can handle 1,000-ton trains up the grade, having been diverted to another duty ; as a heavy eastbound train (the Dominion) has had to leave Field with a Calgary Pacific as train engine, the assistance of a 2-10-2 has been insufficient, and a 2-8-2 has been added, making three engines in all.

1940 October, “Field Hill on the C.P.R.”, in Railway Magazine, page 530:

[ˈk̟æːn̪t̪ø̞ˌpɑ̝i̯kːɑ̝]


drawhook

[...] as to wrought iron drawhooks, the failure of one of which, in a coarsely crystalline condition, was the principal cause of the accident, it was laid down in March 1934, that all new wagon drawbars must be of steel to British Standard Specification No. 80, [...].

1940 November, “Notes and News: A Highland Collision”, in Railway Magazine, page 612:


tender cab

But the 0-8-0 tender engines often run tender first, and No. 8932 has been fitted with a tender cab to give better protection to the enginemen when reverse running takes place.

1940 November, “Notes and News: Locomotive Working at Abergavenny”, in Railway Magazine, page 616:

In spite of their small size and low weight, many technical developments which have proved themselves in main-line service have been incorporated, and a novelty in the 2-6-0-type is a tender cab to improve the conditions of tender-first running.

1947 March and April, “L.M.S.R. Locomotive Developments”, in Railway Magazine, page 66:

(rail transport) A section of cab added to the front of a steam locomotive tender, to provide protection for the engine crew in inclement weather when running tender-first.

hammer blow

hammer blows (plural)
hammerblow (alternative)

The balancing of the engine is unusual, with the rotating masses fully balanced and 40 per cent of the reciprocating masses statically balanced by lead weights in the coupled wheels; the reciprocrating balance weights are in the same phase on both sides of the engine. This system saves balance weight and reduces the wheel hammer-blow.

1959 September, P. Ransome-Wallis, “The British Railways Class "9" 2-10-0s”, in Trains Illustrated, page 419:

(rail transport) A pounding of the rails by the driving wheels of a steam locomotive caused by the inertia of unbalanced parts.

(rail transport, US) Synonym of running powers.


recovery time

Actually, the point-to-point times in general were not varied; the additions were all in the form of blocks of recovery time over certain selected stretches of line.

1959 October, Cecil J. Allen, “Locomotive Running Past and Present”, in Trains Illustrated, page 475:

(rail transport) Additional time built into a train timetable to allow the train to recover from any delays en route, without arriving at its destination late according to the published arrival time.

single-wheeler

It links the time when single-wheelers were still being used on crack expresses to our modern streamline age, when up to the outbreak of war developments both at home and overseas were following thick and fast upon each other.

1941 February, O. S. Nock, “The Locomotives of Sir Nigel Gresley: Part 1—G.N.R. 1911-1914”, in Railway Magazine, page 77:

(rail transport) A steam locomotive with a single driving axle.


banking engine

Speaking of locomotive surefootedness, I was immensely impressed, on a recent journey with the down "Ulsterman" from Euston, when "Royal Scot" 4-6-0 No. 46168, The Girl Guide, cleanly lifted a well-filled 15-coach train of 471 tons tare and 500 tons gross out of the terminus without the service of any banking engine.

1953 November, Cecil J. Allen, “British Locomotive Practice and Performance”, in Railway Magazine, page 760:

When the widening is complete, the majority of the trains from Tees-side and the North which have hitherto had to be routed via the Leeds Northern line (Ripon, Harrogate and Wetherby) will be diverted over the main line via York. This avoids the necessity to provide banking engines on the Leeds Northern route and will result in speedier transit times and the more efficient and economical use of engines and train crews.

1959 November, “Talking of Trains: Widening north of York”, in Trains Illustrated, page 518:

(rail transport, British) Synonym of banker (“type of railway locomotive”).


lifting shop

goods shed

At Kiwi, 40 miles from Nelson [New Zealand], eight women installed themselves in the goods shed, taking with them their knitting, and a supply of food and magazines. The demolition crew was unable to pull the building down without injuring them.

1955 December, “Notes and News: Women Delay Railway Demolition”, in Railway Magazine, page 878:

And it wasn't just station buildings - workers' cottages, stationmasters' houses, signal boxes and goods sheds largely survived at a time when main line intermediate stations were being demolished.

2021 October 20, Mark Rand, “S&C: a line fit for tourists... and everyone?”, in RAIL, number 942, page 42:

(rail transport) A building in a railway goods yard for the storage of goods before or after transport by train, typically with a track running through it to allow goods wagons to be unloaded under cover, although sometimes they were built alongside a track with possibly just a canopy over the door.


locking room

Within these boxes, interlocking between points and signals was the most crucial safety aspect, with the signalman's pulling of levers further safeguarded through the equipment in the locking room (often beneath the signalman's station), which prevented conflicting movements.

2021 October 20, Dr Joseph Brennan, “A key part of our diverse railway heritage”, in RAIL, number 942, page 53:

The [Arboath North Signal Box] locking room's collection of chains, pulleys and wires resembles the inside of a piano, stretching to the 72-levered frame above. Lovers of steampunk will find it especially pleasing.

2021 November 3, Dr Joseph Brennan, “Boxes with functions across the centuries”, in RAIL, number 943, page 57:

(rail transport) A room in a signal box, usually at ground level beneath the operating room, containing the interlocking mechanism for signals and points (track switches) below the lever frame in the operating room.


scissors crossing

en-noun

scissors crossing (plural scissors crossings)

Meantime, alterations at King William Street had become imperative, and by December 22, 1895, the station had been remodelled, as at Stockwell, to provide an island platform with lines each side, and a scissors crossing.

1941 May, “Jubilee of the City Tube”, in Railway Magazine, page 224:

At Newton Abbot, in addition to the four platform roads, there are two outside through roads. Halfway along the platforms there are scissors crossings between each through road and the adjacent platform road.

nonrailroader

Instead, the approach would be to discredit the value of paradigm learning from experience, and embrace new ideas from nonrailroaders. The idea was that these new folks' thinking wouldn't be “polluted” by railroad experiences.

2011, Charles F. Mori, In Between the Rails, page 118:
