In the October 1994 issue, the staff of Trains assembled their top 10 name list for the combination of these two lines since they recognized that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe name was too long to be very practical and not very marketable. Clearly they were having fun with several of these and weren't being completely serious, but here's that list nearly 20 years later. 

1. Krebs Rail

2. Pacific Rail

3. Westrail Express

4. America's Steel Expressway

5. Rails 21

6. Great West Rail

7. Burlington & Santa Fe

8. Santa Fe Northern

9. Gulf Sound Pacific

10. Great Atchison, Chicago, Topeka, Burlington, Santa Fe & Quincy Pacific Northern (They forgot all about the SP&S)
