A few imaginary ones.
Merchants Limited.
Traders Overland.
Brokers Express.
Who knows? They may have been used already by someone.
Really wanna clear the railroad? MAIN + 4 numbers of your choice.
There is probably only one more above that on this planet. POTUS.
Not imaginary. It's a New Haven train.

I like that one!
They could put a large stuffed rabbit in the back of a hy-rail truck and have the train chase it down the track.
There are great promotional possibilities:
"Prerfers The Rail", "Hugs The Rail", etc.
For what it's worth, I once owned a racing Greyhound I named "Streamliner".
Great Plains Zephyr
Prairie Star
Grassland Limited
Sunflower Express
Great Plains Vista
Buffalo Range Express
Frequent Flyer.
Polar Express
OKC to Tulsa to KC- "The Tulsa Flyer"
Newton to KC- "The Newton Flyer"
o. st. paul to st. louis- "saints limited".
How about a Los Angeles - Las Vegas - Crapshooter
returning as the Busted Flush between Las Vegas and Los Angeles
Back before they called it the Acela, Amtrak was going to call it the American Flyer. A.C.Gilbert would have been proud. Being a Lionel man myself, I wish they would name one the Joshua Lionel Cowan or maybe the Lionel Liner.

1. Great Plains Clipper, or Prairie Clipper.

Southern California - Cucamonga Flyer
Columbus, Ohio to Ann Arbor, Michigan. "The Rivalry Express" It would be packed one weekend a year.
A good name for the proposed train between LA and San Francisco.
The Quake and Shake.
How about renaming the Coast Starlight to the Coast Starlate.

I still want the PUCCATRAIN.
On my layout, I have Amtrak service between Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. On my schedule that I've created, there are "Shuttle Service" trains between Cleveland and Columbus and between Columbus and Cincinnati. Between Cleveland and Cincinnati, the trains are the Clevelander, the Buckeye Flyer, and the Cincinnatian.

As a fellow Ohioan, how about the Heartland Flyer or the Queen City and Lakefront?
