Soldiers’ limit changed on a railway (8)
I believe the answer is:
military
'soldiers' limit changed on a railway' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'limit changed on a railway' is the wordplay.
'changed' indicates an anagram.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'railway' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation).
'limit' with letters rearranged gives 'milit'.
'milit'+'a'+'ry'='MILITARY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for military that I've seen before include "Related to soldiering" , "soldierly" , "Of soldiers and warfare" , "Relating to the army" , "in the field" .)
