See posh car shunting into railway truck (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'railway truck' is the definition.
'lorry' can be an answer for 'truck' (lorry is a kind of truck). I'm not certain of the 'railway' bit.

'see posh car shunting' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'posh car' becomes 'rr' (short for Rolls Royce).
'shunting' becomes 'y' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lo'+'rr'+'y'='LORRY'

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lorry that I've seen before include "HGV" , "Industrial vehicle" , "Large truck" , "Large motor vehicle for transporting goods" , "Commercial vehicle" .)
