The Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern was known as the "Pretty Slow and Noisy."
The Pittsburg & Shawmut was known as the "Push and Shove". They hostled hundreds of 100 ton hoppers every evening and the bang, bang, bang,bang.....of them taking up the slack could be heard all over town.

mine is "as long as there's a U.S.A, Espee will haul the freight"
Don't know if it's an official slogan or not, I guess it's just a line from the "roll on" song
sad it didn't age well tho
i visited Eugene station back in 2016, saw a cascades train and some UP freight trains, but i should really have paid a visit to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center to see the 4449 Daylight. I'm also from Corvallis, OR, near Albany, so it just feels right to root for a railroad that goes (went) through your neighboring county.
I have several favorites, among them are: "The trip that bankrupts the English language" from the long gone Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek District Railway, AKA, The Short Line, "The Pikes Peak Route" from the Colorado Midland Railway, "Cripple Creek Scenic Line" and Ute Indian Trail Route" from the Midland Terminal Railway, and "America's Scenic Line" from my layout, the Colorado Midland, Midland Terminal, and Short Line, (CM, MT, & SL) my fictional merger of all three of these roads.
I always thought that "the route of the dashing commuter" was interesting.
