Syn: Cars.

Usage: Train, Cars. At one time "train" meaning railroad
train was also referred to in the U. S. by the phrase
"the cars". In the 1913 dictionary the usage was
described thus: "Train is the word universally used in
England with reference to railroad traveling; as, I
came in the morning train. In the United States, the
phrase the cars has been extensively introduced in the
room of train; as, the cars are late; I came in the
cars. The English expression is obviously more
appropriate, and is prevailing more and more among
Americans, to the exclusion of the cars."
[1913 Webster +PJC]
