My personal favorite is steam locomotives in electrified territory "smoking

That metaphor, "to split the signals," was apparently the invention of David 
P. Morgan in the late 1950s.  It is by now completely threadbare and sounds 
so terribly railfan-ish.   By a new mincing of words and categories, can't 
we come up with something less stale and more refreshing... ?
