Sure. It all comes down to the Railroad Union bullshit. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen created the term Engineer as a way for them to command a higher salary.

Structural Engineers design and build bridges.

@SW-User Oh nice, this actually makes a lot of sense then if true and it does sound like something Americans at the time would pull.
