One of my layouts was named the Manassas Gap, after a railroad that didn't quite make it, but who's unfinished grades played a significant role in the 2nd Battle of Manassas.
I worked at the battlefield in the 70's and loved the place names in the Virginia area.
Manassas, Catharpin (pronounced Cat Harpin',) Brandy Station, etc.

It was also the title of a very funny book of railroad cartoons.

Happened to stumble on this group and enjoyed reading some of the names. May I add my Layouts name? The Plywood Central (an unpainted 4X8 sheet) which the MTB ( My Two Boys) Railroad operates on.
