Word check in AtD

[Danny Weltman]

There are three references to the train, actually, and then two other
usages of the word.

One is in this paragraph, which is Lew, after having talked with Nate
Privett, his coworker, about Lew's investigation of the  Kieselguhr Kid,
among other things, maybe on page 181 depending on your copy:

Next night in Walker’s on Arapahoe, inhaling one twenty-five-cent pony of
bourbon after another, wedged in with five other fast drinkers, which was
as many as the vest-pocket establishment would hold, he understood in an
all-but-religious way that this was supposed to have happened years ago,
that he or whatever was living his life had been taking their sweet time
with it, that he could have been working for the right side years before
this, and now it might be too late, already past the point where anybody
stood a chance against the juggernaut that had rolled down on the country
and flat stolen it.

The next is Denis, a Belgian nihilist, talking to Kit and others,
potentially on page 528:

“Has anyone noticed,” Denis ventured, “how many assorted figures of power
in Europe—Kings, Queens, Grand Dukes, Ministers—have been going down lately
beneath the implacable Juggernaut of History? corpses of the powerful
toppling in every direction, with a frequency far higher than chance might
suggest?”
