I very much agree . This is a problem in our hobby.
Let's try and get it right. At the meeting in Mendota,
during the slide show, some ask what the "Z" on the
speed sign meant. Almost every one in the room called
out, "Zephyr". I beleive I was the only one to say,
"zone". Check the rule book. Bet it says, "zone".
While we are on the subject, it is "speed
restriction", not "speed limit". That's for the
highway! Remember, officially also, it is westward,
etc. trains or track, not westbound etc. trains and
track.
