i'm not even sure what you mean when you stated just trying to help make you piece sound better do you mean your piece if so this isn't my piece it's an article written from the contribution of many editors i did not author the sentence you are trying to modify secondly you didn't just change a phrase you added leading to terminus which was part of my reason for reverting if you read the entire sentence it's somewhat redundant to add that and finally there's nothing unprofessional about the term railroad in fact it's actually a better fit if you look up the definition for railway you'll find that it's often used to describe a type of railroad that operates over short distances we have no idea if that's true or not and therefore railroad is actually preferred
