I can time railway route (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

itinerary

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

'route' is the definition.
(I know that route can be written as itinerary)

'i can time railway' is the wordplay.
'i can' becomes 'itin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'time' becomes 'era' (era is a kind of time).
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'itin'+'era'+'ry'='ITINERARY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for itinerary that I've seen before include "Record of a journey" , "Proposed route of travel" , "List of places" , "schedule" , "Tiny airer? (anagram)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
