Railroad abbreviation game

I've just thought of a game - You post the abbreviated railroad name and the next person to come along has to post a daft version of what they could be called - For example (a well known one in the UK) - LNER - Late and Never EaRly - Get it? I'll start...

F&WHR: Flatulance & Whimsy Heights Rwy

Pick one...It's all the same NG later SG RR near Altoona...Google Search:----> "WopsyRR" Quite an interesting RR history webpage(s).
