Hi guys I'm trying to figure out what to name my railroad which is a fantasy freelanced line in mostly traditional o gauge although i may decide to get some four axle legacy diesels. no steam is decided yet since its a modern freight railroad circa late 90s to present but has older motive power since i may model it as a class 2 or 3 depending on the road i choose . i have several fantasy names to choose i just can't figure out which one to settle with.

here are the roads along with their routes and fictional CEOs

Fenix Pacific - a nationalized carrier covering the lower 48 states CEO- Fenix Starr

Mid National Rail lines- taking the lionel graffiti set and running with the roadname, covers the upper 48 states and canada CEO - Madi Knudsen

Topanga Canyon railroad runs from Topanga CA to san diego CEO Topanga Matthews

Lionelville and Western - runs two main lines from lionelville to Chesterfield MI and Concord NC inspired by a fleet of Gp30s that lionel cataloged in 2011 that i now want very badly but they were cancelled as far as i know someone please confirm it. i may have to make my own by custom painting if so there also was a legacy 0-8-0 that WAS made and i may search for one. CEO Topanga Matthews

i'm hoping lionel gives the lionelville and western roadname another shot- maybe a SD80MAC , GP35, some rolling stock maybe

anyway i would like to see your input

I like the Topanga Canyon the best.

Topanga Canyon and Lionelville and Western are battling in my head right now being owned by the same CEO - Topanga Matthews

Topanga owns both lines and they look separate but on paper they are the same as she combined operations in 2017 after having more time investing in the Railroad industry when her family reality show "Girl Meets World" was prematurely cancelled. She left showbiz and went into her family's rail business becoming CEO eventually buying the Lionelville and Western from Ryan and Dave Industries Inc.
