Nomenclature:While there are technical
terms,railroad men had their own terminology for equipment and the various jobs
on and around the property.I am sure we can all come up with a list of some of
these slang terms.Van,Caboose,way cars,buggies,bobbers,Car knockers,Hogs
and hogheads just to mention a few,Hanging around railroad men one would
come up with terms that were probably unique to a particular railroad and
spiced their vocabulary.The terms varied from road to road and job to job.Armand
