From what I can find, in railroading terminology the term 'manifest' means 'mixed freight train'. So it makes me think that saying 'manifest train' actually means 'mixed freight train train'. Is 'manifest train' redundant?
Just curious, as I don't want to make the common mistake similar to saying 'ATM machine', 'PIN number', 'XX AM in the morning', etc.
Thx!

Well, if you were a Conductor and someone else asked you, "What kind of train do you have this trip?", you would most likely answer, "I caught a Manifest this trip.".
Don't forget 'Hot Water Heater'! (Guilty of this myself and I know better!)
I checked with the redundant Department of Redundancy department and it's all fine, well and good.

OK, I'm familiar with a "Feedwater Heater", and a "cold water" heater, but I must admit that I don't know why anyone would want to run hot water through a heater again, if it is already hot.
Now a "Super heater" is a different story.

That would be the 'Deluxe' version 
Shouldn't the word just be "dundant" anyway? So it's not?

If the unit is designed to maintain the bulk water at a named elevated temperature, say 150F, by cycling on and off at the desired set points, then it is heating hot water, isn't it? Secondly, Superheaters are designed to heat saturated steam not water. So what is your point by referencing Superheaters? But you knew all this already, right, Hot Water.

Just my opinion, but you may be just a bit too serious.
