GENERAL DICTIONARY OF RAILWAY TERMS

LEXIQUE GENERAL DES TERMES FERROVIARES

This dictionary, which is intended for the use of all those who are required by their occupations--or out of personal curiosity--to read or write anything concerning railways, in a language with which they are not completely familiar, has met with a considerable degree of well-merited success, because of the care devoted to its preparation. The progress made today by railway science, in the same way as all other sciences, is, however, rapid, and the necessity had, therefore, arisen of bringing the dictionary up to date. As a result, some 3,000 terms were added, and, as those already contained in the first edition were, at the same time, completely revised, a work of considerable technical value has been produced. The addition of the Dutch language to the five original languages contained in the first edition (French, German, English, Italian and Spanish) will enable its value to be still further increased.
