Refer to The Language of the Railroader by Ramon F. Adams, published by the University of Oklahoma Press, 1977. Copies may be available through interlibrary loan from a public or university library. I'm sure there are online resources as well.

Simmons-Boardman (www.railwayage.com) has or will have a dictionary. I saw a draw some time ago.
