railman

Locomotive industry worker

A railman is a man who works on the railroad—maintaining tracks, operating trains, or performing other railway duties.

The term is somewhat old-fashioned, largely replaced by gender-neutral alternatives like railroad worker or railway employee.

His grandfather was a railman for forty years.
