	Merriam-Webster Online
		His theory was that the rail in question refers to a member of the Rallidae, the family of wading birds also known by their anglicized name, the rail family, and which counts among its members coots, rails, crakes, and gallinules.
		While it is true certain members of the rail family are noted for their slenderness, it is not true that these fine-feathered friends inspired the simile as thin as a rail.
		In fact, that comparison comes from the rail which extends from one post or support to another and which functions as a guard or barrier.

		The discovery of the Calayan rail is described in Forktail, a journal of Asian ornithology published by the OBC.

		Most members of the rail family are waterbirds, though in tropical parts of Asia many are forest dwellers like the Calayan rail.
