Thread Name: Folklore: Railroad Nicknames
Subject: RE: BS: Railroad Nicknames
When I was a kid there was a train that ran between Marlow (Bucks, England) and Bourne End that was known affectionately as 'The Marlow Donkey'

And the old British Rail logo of rails with arrows pointing each way was interpreted as "we don't know which way we're going"
