My wife's roller derby league has a railroad theme to it. They already have one team called the TrainWrecks, but now they are forming a second team and want to keep it train related.
One name was the Promontory Prowlers which I know the background and history, but I think would be missed by many, so we need others
Any ideas? Double entendre are encouraged, but the name needs to be family friendly.
OK guys be creative

The Gandy Dancers
I did suggest Gandy Dancers as well, so we are two for it
As this would seem to be a contact sport, how about 'The Buffer Stops' although I suppose that would be 'The Bumpers' in US terminology. 
High Ballers
"Hotshots" of course this is not a term specific to just railroads.
You're close to small narrow gauge railway that existed early in the 20th century known as the Uintah Railway. The route snaked from Mack, CO northward to Watson, UT. Henry Bender wrote a book about the history of the Uintah Railway, called "The Gilsonite Route".
I can't come up with a catchy team name that would be readily recognizable to the common person.
How about "The Streamliners?" A combination of beauty, power and speed!

Hi Chris, I have to go with Gandy Dancers.
Lets face it it's the first name that come to mind becauase it works. It's traditional RR and lets face it if anyone ever saw a roller durby the ladies may be rough but it still looks like a graceful dance.
That's why we guys like it, there is alot of physical action but in a graceful way.
Just look at that group picture you posted, looks like the cast of 42end Street to me.
How about,
Lionel Legacy Rollers
The American Flyers
Dixie Flyers
Railblazers
Orange Blossom Special
The Hiawatha's
The 3 rail loopers
The 620 Watt Transformers--don't laugh guys, that's a good one
I agree with Wild Mary "Riding The Wild Mary"
