QUOTE: Originally posted by CHPENNSYLVANIA What are some of your favorite odd sounding or strange named railroads or passenger trains. The Kansas City Mule by Amtrak. What does this name mean?
QUOTE: Originally posted by wrwatkins How about some take offs on railroad names? How about these? Nevada-California-Oregon, aka NCO, called Narrow, crooked, and ornery B&O called Beano (take off on the medication for flatulance) Or a name for the Pacific Electric red cars in their waning days when maintenance was lacking--The Red Rattler Or the short line in Cimmaron NM. I forget its name but its logo was the swastica before it took on bad connotations. They called it The Swastica Line. In the late '30s they changed their slogan and signage.
