The RR-RR

I was thinking four "R"s together might sound cool for a railroad. How about Runny River, Rickety Racket, Rusty Ruckus or Rejected Roster.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

You could also do something like Rappahannock River , ( which is a river running thru MD and VA )

How about the RRR-RR, the Ricing-Rail River Railroad.  My son last year in school learned that the Ojibwe called the St. Croix River the Ricing-Rail River.  The actual Ojibwe word is about 30 letters long which I can't remember, but the translation is the Ricing-Rail River.

rtraincollector,

Your name suggestion has a great ring to it, but where does the Rappahannock run through Maryland?

Family owns land upstate and a line of the Reading ran thru the valley. Reading tore up the tracks and sold the land to the adjacent property owners. Anyway part of the valley is called (by the locals) Rattleing Run. The pronounce it Rat-lin Run. It rolls off the tongue nice. The area's nice Aunt owns the farm in the middle with a big red barn white farm house and a creek runs right thru it and next to her property is a fising pond. Looks just like a layout but full size.
