Meaning of 〜関係の〜 in the phrase 鉄道関係の言葉


This question appears on my homework above an empty box instead of lines as
with previous questions:

> 鉄道{てつどう} **関係{かんけい}の** 言葉{ことば}を書{か}きなさい

Am I being asked to write "words **about** railroads?" I came into this class
about a week late, and am wondering if there's something here that I'm
missing, because that strikes me as a strange thing to be asked to do.

What does 関係の mean here?




Here, 「〜関係の〜」 means "related to," not really "about." So a better translation
would be "write words that are related to railroads." You know, like
"engineer," "trainspotter," "train station," etc.
