What's your RR's Slogan/Motto?

[Anonymous]

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

Hell its just a model !!
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]

"She made the mountain run in less than 12 parsecs."

i have a good slogan, not one i use, but humorous just the same. it is, "if it has to be there overnight, take it yourself."

[AggroJones]

"We shall deliver...eventually."

[CP5415]

"We'll move anything for a profit!"
"Model Railroading, The Civilized Hobby"
"Welcome to what was my kids Education Fund!" <-- just joking :)

My railroad is the CAW, California and Arizona Western. " Shortest Route-As the Crow Flies- CAW CAW ".

[Anonymous]

I model the ATSF line that follows Route 66 across northern AZ. I have adapted a phrase from one of the Route 66 songs "Get your kicks on route 66". My motto is "Get your thrills on steel wheels".

This not a slogan/motto but I also tell my trains, "don't derail or I'll send you to h---". [:P]

Another Star Trek one:

As the right of each Railroad to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Railroad may interfere with the healthy development of another Railroad. Such interference includes the introduction of superior Locomotives, Rail, or technology to a Timeframe whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Railroad personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their Locomotive unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral obligation.

Here's one with a Star Trek background, "May these rails live long and prosper"

[MAbruce]

ALWAYS working on the railroad...

[Anonymous]

With a Star Trek theme in mind how come no one has come up with a slogan

"To Boldly Go Where No Rail Has Gone Before"

[Anonymous]

Currently under design...Commuter Rail Alliance Of Philadephia (C.R.A.P.) Connection via NJT at Bound Brook ROW with SEPTA in W.Trenton into Philly. " We're Quick to Kick ! " [:o)] [:I] [B)] [:D] [;)]

I Love it!. Someone should do a study on how many model railroaders are Star Trek Fans. Its quite a common thing I have noticed!



As for my model railroad. The Lander Northwestern. "Where Rails and Trails Meet"

Cochise & Western Railroad -- Route of the Saguaro

Great Dividing Range Mining Co.-The way to travel.
Don't ship it with us-we carry anything.
Stuff on our railroad derails-not our reputation for the clean-up.
Great Dividing Range Mining Co.-The way to move minerals, not intermodal.

CN, Eating Railroads since 1919

Yeah, I model CN, North America's Railroad

[Anonymous]

For the Wisconsin & Iowa, the official slogan is "The Northern Lights Route" and
for what gets stencilled on the side of locomotives it's, "Join The Revolution!"

C&NW Cheap & Nothing Wasted

Well, since I'm modeling the UP I guess it would be, "BE SPECIFIC.....SHIP UNION PACIFIC!" Of course, since my railroad will probably be a fictional line on the UP, It could be something like, "There's no such thing as highways", or "You ship it, we deliver".
