Phoebe Snow was a train on the Lackawanna RR which went from Hoboken to Buffalo starting, I think, in 1949. Originally, the name was invented by the Lackawanna in 1904 for an advertising campaign. The idea was that the Lackawanna's locomotives burned clean anthracite coal instead of sooty bituminous. A sample jingle: Says Phoebe Snow About to go Upon a trip To Buffalo My gown stays white From Morn til night Upon the road of Antrhacite These were originally subway car ads. You can see some of them in links from the Steamtown web site. As far as names go: Tallowpot (fireman) Reefer (refrigerator car) Hotbox (overheated journal bearing)
