switch engine

At the end of the tunnel a car that looks like a limousine turned switch-engine is waiting on a siding for the boss of the job.

A switch engine letting off steam drowned the last words, and there was no applause.

For the past week every switch engine in the house has been out.

His face grew serious as he listened to me, and I saw him watching a switch-engine through the window.

At a grade crossing, a switch-engine overturned his craft, about as gently as such an accident could be accomplished.
