It is your railroad. Why not name it yourself? I do not mean to sound like a jerk i just mean that is part of all the fun

I chose your option one. Though since your based out of the US railroad instead of railway."Railway" being mostly a Canadian term. The first name sounds more grandiose more important. Rob

I like the last one on the poll--shortlines should have imposing-sounding names, and "Superior Railway (road) & Navigation" sounds imposing as all get-out!

cheese3: i agree, but, i was dithering on a couple there and wanted other viewpoints. sorta the "devils advocate" thing

trolleyboy: your point on the "railway" term is correct. i was approaching it from the point of view as the RR is partially owned by the GN which was a railway. and James HIll was never really known for being shy about what/how he thought a RR should be!

twhite: like minds think alike!!! (not quite sure that's a compliment to you though! you may want to be insulted!! ) [(-D][(-D] By the way, went to your photo album. Dude, NICE LAYOUT!

Thanks guys for the replies!
