A bit of history of railroad slang...

* Engines used to be referred to as "Hogs".

* Engineer's used to be referred to as "Hogger" and/or "Hoghead".

Such slang terms are seldom heard now on the railroad. During my railroad years, I've used the term "Piglet" to refer to a both an Engineer trainee I was training, as well as a newly credential Engineer. Sometimes said trainee/newly credentialed Engineer barely appreciated the term!
