Favorite Fictional Roads?

[kpolak]

Does everyone have fictional road names they have or have seen???

Ours has been changing, but KR&bt is the current name, after family initials.  I'm still working on the logo for the cars.

Railfan 1 : I saw your question mark there & what he's talking about is, I believe, naming your model rairoad !   Most modelers or a good amount of them may use family members names or maybe initials from persons or places, for the name of their railroad, & even have names for their cities, maybe named after a friend or relative. Just a neat little thing to do. I named my little town, for example, after The Chief, so I call it Eagleville !!  

Thanks, John

The PB&J lines. The two kids pictured are the B and the J. Yours truely is the P. The PB&J is mostly O gauge, with a little HO, some prewar, and alot of fun accessories to boot. Its a carpet train line where speed and crashes are the main purpose. Transporting giraffes. rhinos, and misc. small toys around and around in circles is its source of revenue. Long blasts on the horn, levitating balloons, and crack the whip are commonplace on the PB&J.

The C&LRR   Chesterfield and Lazyboy Railroad.   Since it's located in our family room the bridge spans the Lazyboy (sic) recliner and the town named for it's location over our Chesterfield ...the Canuck term for a sofa.

I am thinking of the Bogota Southern.  While it is not official yet, it does seem to have a ring to it and it is the name of the town I did most of my growing up in.  I was also thinking of naming it the RNK Central, or Rotten Nasty Kids Central after my own rug rats.  We will see what sticks.

I've always admired the Gorre & Daphetid, Canandaigua Southern, & Delta Lines.  I have shirts embroidered for our own Manchester Midland & Adirondack Railroad, though.

Has anyone heard of or seen the Crooked Mountain lines??

[mersenne6]

Yup, Model Railroader did more than one article on the Crooked Mountain lines.

 My favorite fictional road was the nameless road where Spearman set all of his short stories.  While you never knew the name you knew everything else about it - The West End, the Spider Water, the appaling curve at the forks of the Goose, Medicine Bend, Division Super Bucks, Roadmaster Doubleday, and, of course, the men who made them roll - Jimmy the Wind, McTerza, McGrath, Johnny Horrigan and all the rest.

There was a featured layout in Model Railroader a few years ago, the Broke and Kantafordit RR. Always liked that one. I think it was O narrow gauge.

There sure is lots of wonderful backwoods traction on the CML.   The level of realizm is astounding in the photos I've seen of this layout.  It's like a Doug Murphy form of porno!
