Naming Locomotives

Latley, Ive been calling some locos “damnit whats wrong with you today”

I’ve only named one locomotive.
One of my Athearn SD40-2’s # 5415

I named it “ME”

Hey Metro!

I live in the Portland, Oregon area home to the Portland & Northwestern RR, a branchline belonging to the Genesee & Wyoming system. They name their locomotives (MOSTLY GP 39’s) after the cities along their route. They put the name in the black stripe on the cab. The IC used to name some of it’s locomotives after famous Illini.
Hope that helps a little!

This thread is interesting.

My favorite loco is my model of N&W J #611, and this thread has inspired me to think of a name for it. I was thinking, O.W.L. Any objections, thoughts etc?
