Just a word about the use of the word "lashups" Recently, in Pacific Rail
News the professional railroader who writes a monthly column was commenting
on certail railfan practices including referring to locomotive consists as
"lashups." Practicing railroaders apparently never use the term and when
railfans use it they classify the user as a "daisey picker", a person not
to be taken seriously. Most railroaders don't even know what the word
means. My own pet peeve is to read a caption referring to a consist of
several locomotives or units as a "brace." A brace of something is two of
something and no more.
