And besides you're very late to the party since these lines have nicknames already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assumedly, these would be based off the phonetic alphabet, which would run as.

MattTrain Posted April 19, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 19, 2011 I just like the regular single letters, its easier to tell at a glance what someones talking about I think the nicknames are used to refer to the train's call letters (train's identity by interval, route, and origin-destination. For Example: 13:26 Quincy Ditmars-Stillwell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainFanatic Posted April 19, 2011 Share #14 Posted April 19, 2011 I think he just put together random words that match each letter. They don't sound creative at all. I'm not a big fan of making up names for each line but I mean - can't, - dont... really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
