Railroad related names: Strasburg (obviously) Lancaster Altoona Denver & Rio Grande Rock Island Burlington Northern Gorre & Daphetid (Fictional) I was wondering what everyone else's favorite "railroad related" names were. Wether they are real or fictional, a town or the actual name of the line, a business that is served by the line or nearby. And let's not forget the international audience. This question is a result of me looking for some inspiration to name a town and a few businesses on my line. You know, if I get enough responses and if I have the time, maybe I'll publish the list and then we can vote on the top ten in each category.
McClelland's V&O Gorre & Daphetid E. Broman's Utah Belt to name a few, besides Westport Terminal RR. :angel: Wolfgang
Canandaigua Southern - John Armstrong's Railroad Grey and Grandure - Mine Pink Fox Lines - Wholly owned subsidiary of the GandG Gorre and Daffiti Bangor and Aroostook
Boston & Maine Saucier Central, wholly owned subsidiary of B&M in N Scale Beebe River, N Scale interchange with the SCRR Last, but hardly least...New York Central

I always liked the Bangor and Aroostock RR's name, And the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range too! :tb-biggrin:
Ashley, Drew & Northern - sounds like one of those layouts made by a modeller naming towns after his daughters, but it's real! Estrada de Ferro Dona Teresa Cristina. Paarden Eiland - area of Cape Town, once location of a major steam shed. Tjibatu - once one of many steam-hunting targets in Java. Doncaster. Tracy - town on SP in California. Hagans - town in WVa on L&N. Mohawk. Phoebe Snow. Siskiyou (just reminded of this by another thread).
