Morphology

Ginger + line

As a proper name, 'Ginger Line' uses 'Ginger' in an idiosyncratic way that does not transparently signal 'scenic railway' to a learner who only knows the word 'ginger' (a spice or color) and 'line' (a route). The link between the constituents and the specific meaning (a picturesque railway connecting charming villages) is arbitrary or cultural, so a B1 learner would not reliably derive the intended sense from the parts alone.

Etymology

Ginger Line may come from the warm, ginger-coloured roofs and fields the line passes, which make the route look like a ribbon of warm colour across the countryside. So, that picture of pretty villages and colours is why the name now suggests a 'scenic' and 'charming' railway.
