It seems that at one time or another, every railroad has earned a less than complimentary nickname. <br /> <br />Some nicknames refer to the railroad's less than ideal financial situation or physical plant. I've seen the Western Pacific refered to as the "Wobbly" and the Chicago Great Western as the "Great Weedy". <br /> <br />Other roads get nicknamed by disgruntled employees or shippers -- UP = "Unlimited Parking" and CN/IC is "Canadians (or Children) now in charge!" <br /> <br />So with your tounge firmly in cheek, what are your favorites?
