OBS

manœuvres industrielles : terme du jargon des cheminots. Son emploi n'est pas recommandé dans un texte en langage soutenu parce que ce terme est une traduction littérale et imprécise du terme anglais «industrial switching». En effet, les «manœuvres» elles-mêmes ne sont pas «industrielles». Il s'agit plutôt de manœuvrer des wagons sur des voies industrielles, en zone industrielle.
