NAMES AND NICKNAMES OF FREIGHT TRAINS OPERATED ON THE RAILROADS OF THE UNITED STATES | ||
Every few seconds, day or night, and in all kinds of weather,
a freight train starts its run somewhere within the United States to
carry to the
people the necessities, comforts and luxuries of life. These freight
trains, heavy-laden with the goods that supply and support and nourish
America,
have made names for themselves in more than one sense. There are CANNONBALLS, BULLETS, ROCKETS, METEORS, THUNDERBOLTS, and REDBALLS and names that savor of speed and the roar of the rails. There are colorful animal nicknames such as BADGER, BULL DOG, BLACK CAT, WHIPPET, and GREYHOUND. A train carrying fresh vegetables and fruits on an overnight run might bear the prosaic but descriptive name of VEGETABLE SPECIAL. Then, too, cities, states, and other geographical areas have been given official recognition in the naming of freight trains. Through these names, whatever they may be, freight trains, like passenger trains, acquire real personalities and throughout the length of their runs they are known to many by their popular designations. |
