The employees and customers are only little plastic objects !!
I don't even have working "toilet retention systems" on my passenger trains, yet.
Next thing you're going to want to know, is what is our "reservations web address" ?

So if I read this right.....all of the little folks on your layout are a little anal retentive?[:)]

so the roads motto is "next load, in the commode" or " we get you moving.."

of course the reporting marks are XLAX. [:)]

I guess this is what you cal potty humor....[:D][:D]

My railroad the Pennsylvania Midland reporting marks PM, specializes in overnight delivery - hence "For AM delivery ship PM"

I am building a freelanced three-rail O gauge layout (did I just here someone call for the gaurds?!?!?![:)]), called the Kneading, Repaire, and New Partes. I am thinking of mottos. Here are a few:

"The railroad where your less-than-carload box car is treated as a double headed drag freight extra."
or
"I see you got the box of chocolates. We'll try not to derail this time."
or
"We run our railroad better than we spell."
or
"The Kneading anew route." (chuckle, chuckle).

Here are a few Star Trek ones (yes, I am also a Star Trek fan/Trekker):

"It is a good day to derail"
"The needs of the many steamers outweighs the needs of the few diesels."
"Engauge. Oh-wait. I need to clean the tracks."

Live long and re-motor,
Daniel

My railroad is a terminal road set in a fictional Midwest city, really KC or STL. The slogan is "The expanding belt line"

[dragenrider]

While I don't have a slogan to add, I must say how much fun I've had reading all of yours. I don't think I've ever laughed so much over a forum. The trekkie and Star Wars slogans were great, too!

The Vancouver Seattle & Portland RR (also known as the Vastly Sorry and Puny RR) has these slogans :
"Praying for our trains to stay on track since 1890!"
"The Streamliner Rip-Off"
"We'll be happy as long as you don't spit in our cars"
"We also call our trains Zephyrs, so what?"
"D'OH!"
... and the big railroad cliche:

"we think we can, we think we can!"

I still have a few cars left from my old freelance road, the Balboa Southern Rail Road, or B.S.R.R., also known as the B.S. Road.
" There's no load like a B.S. load"
" When the boss wants it shipped fast, B.S. it!"
"Nothing moves it faster than B.S."
well you get the idea. Musta had a hundred of em.

Well I did like GO Transit's old line "Bringing The Skydome Closer To Home"

But I would still say it should be more like "GO Transit: Now With French Subtitles" or "GO Transit: All The Noise Of Queen Elizabeth Way, And Twice The Capacity" or "GO Transit: All The Beaurcracy Of An American Line, But We Actually Run On Time"

I've got another EMRR. ENDSVILLE MILLING Railroad motto We try to not to END someone in ENDSVILLE get ENDSVILLE haha [;)]

Central Illinois is the home of my RR, The Sangamon & Kakaskia (two rivers running thru central Illinois). Our slogan is "The Sangamon & Kaskaskia, Bracketing the I. C." which gives the RR the logo of "SicK". I have also started on a fictitious history of the not-so-famous Sangamon & Kaskaskia that explains how a disgruntled PR person came up with the slogan to get even with the ne'er-do-well majority owner/CEO after an embarassing moment at a company social function. My work on this, like a good many of the previous entries noted, are perfect examples of an idle mind being a terrible waste!

[:D]I can't agree more, this is hilarious.

my CAST-Away Railroad slogan is probably something like "Can Always SHIP?...Tomorrow!".

I still like the Klingon idea though... "send by Klingon, you'll never get it" or something like that.

"the answer is 42" (HGTTG) works for me also

I'm partial to nicknames road employees gave existing railroads usually based on the letters painted on the tenders or engines.

My favorite is from the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railway,

NCNG....Never Comes, Never Goes.

Something more along the lines of

"Klingon Rail, when it absolutely, positively has to be smashed up overnight"

And Deep Thought did warn you...."Do I have AN ANSWER? YES!....but your really not going to like it..."

My dad called CP Rail "Sleepy Rail" when we where talking about why the sawmills around here don't use rails much. Apperently, CP rail dumped a big market for an even bigger one...
