Mike, the Railroad bomb also goes by MLU-10/B (mine live unit). It is considered a mine in some cases when fuzed as such. There is a post or two about it on BOCN:

Mike,
it took a little searching, but I've sent it to you via PM. The pub was revised/declassified in 2005. Apparently when they revised it they screwed things up and made several typos (17 Okt 2005?). As one of the typos the nomenclature of the bomb/mine was changed from BLU-31B to BLU-3LB, both in the title and throughout the document, which makes it a little difficult to find it if you know what you are looking for. Good reading -
