Todd, could a link to this upcoming section of Cary's FAQ also be listed on
the front page of the Train Newsgroup?

Cary, I would be particularly interested in any posts that define *Train
Terms*. An example would be 4-4-0 locomotive vs 2-4-2 locomotive. It has
taken a trip to the library and a book with good pictures to help me sort
this out. There are tons of terms about which I haven't a clue, much less
the subtle distinction between others. It is necessary to be able to phrase
a question correctly to get the information one is seeking in the answer.
Having the correct terms helps in both formulating the question and
understanding the answer.

I will look forward to the addition of the Train section. Thanks for all
your work!
