>>Fellow Ferroequinologist<<

All very very nice. Amazing work.

Thanks Don - the TrainWorx Traingineers have truly been blessed with talent

I figured it out once after puzzling over it when I first saw it here.  I guess it helped to have taken chemistry, and that I pass by the "Equine Center"  (stables and riding training academy area) at the NC Fairgrounds every day and so could decode the words.  Cute term!!

One of my friends grew up by the B&O in a Philly suburb. His father was a car inspector ("Car Knocker" or "Toad" because of crouching to check brakes). He has been known to salute me as a "fellow ferroequinologist."

TrainWorkx satisfies even fussy ferroequinologists.

Heard that term bantered about at the RSME (Reading Society of Model Engineers) for years.  Normal translation given as "student of the iron horse." 

I think "ologist" is better defined as study or knowledge  Ferroequinologist usually is translated as "student of the iron horse".   In several other languages railroad comes out as iron road instead of iron horse. 

It's from the Greek word logos. You're right, Eisenbahn, Chemin de Fer, all meaning iron road. Don't know about the Indians as we don't have them here but first tramways and railroads were horse drawn.

Don't stone me for being pedantic please!

At the Lackawanna County (PA) visitors center near Grzyboski's they have Ferroequinologist bumper stickers available. I have one on my pick-up.

Sounds like FERROEQUINOLOGY is our S P E C I A L T Y  !!!!!

And that is the name of the game from Train Dame of Trainworx fame.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Himmm, "Ferroequinologist", so that's what I am. I guess I can tell my wife that all those other things she has been calling me are wrong!
