The trouble with having an international interest in railroads railways is what word to use.  Is it:

• Railway or railroad
• Shunt or switch
• Coach or passenger car
• Wagon or car
• Van or boxcar
• Tram or trolley….  and so on?

But when you see a sign like this!  Context is everything.  Understandable at the end of a passenger car, but not quite right when nailed to a station building…..
