Shout caught near railway (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cry

'shout' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'caught near railway' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'near' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'c'+'ry'='CRY'

(Other definitions for cry that I've seen before include "Shout - weep" , "Blubber" , "Don't . . . over spilt milk" , "Sound of pain or grief" , "Sob or shout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
