How about an on-topic thread for a change? If you're using a free-lanced name for your railroad, rather than following a prototype, how did you select your railroad's name? I wanted to find some reporting marks which held some sort of personal meaning for me. Trying to use my first name gave me railroad names such as Rock Island, California & Klamath. I couldn't invent anything that I liked with those initials. I realized that my zodiac sign had possibilities as reporting marks
- LEO. Eventually, after doodling around with a few possibilities, I settled on the Lake Erie & Oregon. Now I just need to come up with a final track plan for it.
