Land for nobleman by railway (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

country

'land' is the definition.
(I know that land can be written as country)

'nobleman by railway' is the wordplay.
'nobleman' becomes 'count' (count is a type of aristocrat).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'count'+'ry'='COUNTRY'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for country that I've seen before include "See 9" , "land?" , "Nation" , "Rural" , "State; region" .)
