Talk:elevated

Meaning elevated railway?
In his autobiographic book In Memory Yet Green, Isaac Asimov uses “elevated” to mean some mode of public transport, presumably elevated railway. The context is Boston in 1949. It appears once in chapter 48 “Somerville”, section 1 (page 567 of edition Doubleday 1979), and I seem to remember it appears at least one other time, so it's probably not a mistake. This meaning of the word is not mentioned here nor in my Oxford dictionary. Is this meaning actual use by other people? &#x2013; b_jonas 17:02, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
