Some time ago I started a thread on a different forum about RR nicknames. I thought that it might be fun to start it on this forum. One that I always enjoyed was a Texas railroad with a nickname of Wobblety Bobblety Turn Over and Stop. I'm not sure what the real name was.

CSX was originally going to be called the "Federal American Railroad Transportation System (FARTS)."
