I would suggest "something" sub or subdivision since you are modelling a real railroad in a fictional area. My railroad is the Southcross & Western Railway. It is a fake railroad in a fake place. Its set somewhere in the northeast US running west from the city of Southcross (makes sense right[:D]) Its called southcross because it contains the southern most crossing of the Ganton River which originates just north of the small town of Ganton which is also served by the S&W. Now you may be wondering why I described the setting of my railroad... My point is, get a starting point and just build around it. I started with Ganton, added the ganton river, decided the southernmost crossing would be the big city on the layout and decided to name the city Southcross. As for the Western part, I just liked the way it sounded. So, get a mental map of your setting and then pick a RR name based on where the railroad is. Thats my method anyway.
