Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - ngauger - 07-08-2011 Ralph Wrote:The idea sounds like a lot of fun to me and an opportunity to enjoy some forum-wide creativity without a lot of needless restrictions. Hmmmm, since we have members all around the globe how about something like "Intercontinental Connecting Railway?" More modern versions could call it "InConRail" to reflect today's corporate names. Hmmm, maybe Conrail would object to that one?could be ICCR too or ICC Rwy Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - Mike Kieran - 07-08-2011 Didn't you guys want to keep the BB&G logo and or name? Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - Justinmiller171 - 07-08-2011 Mike Kieran Wrote:We can do something like Justin said about a holding company. I was thinking, what about something like the Saltzberg/Pinsley lines, or better yet, like Genessee Wyoming Industriess or Rail America. Use a common paint scheme/lettering and subletter our reporting marks to the equipment. GWI also owns railroads outside the United States, so it can truly be a global enterprise.

Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - ezdays - 07-08-2011 Mike Kieran Wrote:Didn't you guys want to keep the BB&G logo and or name?Like Mikey says, the BB&G is separate from what we're doing here. As I said in a subsequent post, this road should not have Big Blue or The Gauge in it's name, those roads will continue on as their charter permits them to do. The charter for this road will allow it to run anywhere in the world and the name should signify that.... Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - Mike Kieran - 07-08-2011 Oh, in that case, how about Central Lines. It has a good ring to it and is ambiguous as to location. We can also do like New York Central, Southern Pacific, and for that matter, Southern. Common Paint Scheme, but different lettering. So you can model the parent company or its subsidiaries.

Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - Brakie - 07-09-2011 shortliner Wrote:Global RailRoad Leasing (GRLX) ? Global Rail Enterprises would sound good as a holding name like Rail America,GWI and my own CDBI. Re: We are wondering what you think about this.... - Mike Kieran - 07-11-2011 Global Rail Industries (GRIX)? Global Rail Transportation (GRTX) aka GreAT or GRiT?
