0 a small railway engine that is used for moving carriagesaround on the tracks rather than making journeys between stations
The order started from shunters, passed drivers, drivers, first class goods drivers, and finally to passenger drivers.
I was a freight guard, and a shunter, working in filthy, dangerous conditions.
I speak as a former railway shunter and goods guard.
In the work of the shunters two classes of men were employed.
Little shunter trains operate in other parts of the country, stopping at small places.
The shunters in 1921 numbered 19,100, and in 1931, 16,300.
Will there be further improvements in the accommodation for shunters and guards?
One of the most difficult classes to recruit is that of shunters because it is hard work, done in all weathers, day and night.
