Air-line railroad : ウィキペディア英語版
Air-line railroad
An air-line railroad was a railroad that was relatively flat and straight, choosing a shorter route over an easier route. In their heyday, which was prior to aviation, they were often referred to simply as "air lines." For example, a 1903 novel indicates a character's success by noting his position as "superintendent of passenger traffic of the New York and Chicago Air Line."〔Wister, Owen (1903), ''Philosophy 4: A Story of Harvard University.'' Macmillan, New York, 1903〕

==Dictionary definition==
Webster's 1913 dictionary gives the definition "Air line, a straight line; a bee line. Hence Air-line, adj.; as, air-line road." ( this meaning has fallen into disuse.)
