  "term": "Autocoach",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A railway coach with a driving cab at one end, used in push-pull working so the driver can control a locomotive at the other end by remote linkage. When the locomotive pushes, the driver rides in the cab, so the engine does not have to run round the train at a terminus. Autocoaches were paired with small tank locomotives on branch lines, notably on the Great Western Railway.",
