I don't know if its a knack I have for finding a good set of keywords,
the types of things I search for, or what, but I figure I have
somewheres like an 80% success rate with finding information on the web
using only Altavista. In fact my initial search string:
+truck +bolster +train
Found sites that were reasonably relevant (though about half of them
were trucking related not train related). Found a lot of model parts
lists also. The next string I tried which narrowed it way down was:
+truck +bolster +train +glossary
Does Canada use some of the UK/Australian terminology? That would
increase the likelyhood of an american law enforcement officer ending up
learning the terms. Of course if he has done extensive research, he has
probably looked at UK and Australian reports etc.
