Checking my Times Cryptic 1089 answers and two I did not solve-could someone just explain them for me?

Eagle's descent follows a short stop
answer AQUILINE

and Railway books fellow always collects: the odd ones?
answer EVERY OTHER
I can see that 'odd ones' goes with every other but where does rest of clue come in?

Thanks in advance

AQUILINE = eagle
descent = LINE, a = A, short stop = QUI(t)


railway = RY, books = OT, fellow = HE
always collects = put E'ER outside

(OT = old testament)
Railway= RY
books=OT
always= EVER
fellow = HE
Ever - always
Ry - railway
OT - Old Testament books
He - fellow
oh yes, forgot about the V in the 2nd one
Ever. Always
Ry, trains and stuff! Railway
Ot old testament
He, chap
