SPAIN. This is the last of several hundred software strings. I managed to find solutions for most of them, but this one has me stumped. I tried Google and got "Railway dangerous goods book (RID)", but I'm not convinced, and I'd like to know what the RID stands for

The Regulation concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID)
I found this used here:
The Regulation concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID) forms Appendix C to COTIF, and has an annex. This Regulation applies to international traffic.
Directive 2008/68/EC transposes RID into the EU’s internal law, including for national transport. OTIF and the Commission have put in place the necessary coordination.
As a result of coordination work between the UNECE in Geneva and OTIF, the provisions on the carriage of dangerous goods by rail are also harmonised with the provisions for road transport (ADR) and inland waterways transport (ADN).

Europe-wide rules govern the transportation of dangerous goods by rail. These are known by the letters 'RID'. You'll also see references to the Carriage Regulations - these translate the RID rules into UK legislation.

Note from asker:
| It's the fact that that they form a 3-letter abbreviation from a 10-word header, that was throwing me off. |

RID
I looked it up and it appears that RID stands for "El Reglamento relativo al transporte internacional de mercancías peligrosas por ferrocarril" It seems to be a law book concerning the regulation of transport of dangerous materials via railway.

RID Code Book / RID
Entiendo que el término que estás buscando en inglés es este "RID code book" o como bien te aconsejó Jesús Paredes, simplemente "RID".
Example sentence:
A demountable tank, other than one used for the transport of radioactive material as defined by Class 7 of the RID, shall be deemed...
Discussion
The rail vehicle crew holds information on the specific details of each wagon and the details of their individual loads. This is recorded on an information sheet known as the consist. It will contain the following information:
Position of every wagon from front to rear
Train identity number
Locomotive identity number
Wagon numbers
Dangerous goods emergency codes
UN number plus specialist advice contact code"

The original is in French, but the acronym doesn't make much sense even then.
