Old rail traveller leaves (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rocket

This clue is a double definition.

'old rail traveller' is the first definition.
(as in Stephenson's Rocket, early steam train)

'leaves' is the second definition.
(I know that Rocket is a type of leaf vegetable)

(Other definitions for rocket that I've seen before include "Structure that flies by expelling gases - or a reprimand" , "Self-propelled missile and a plant" , "Projectile; salad plant" , "It's propelled to a great height by combustion" , "Firework and salad ingredient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
