Three Suggestions for a Name to New Lynchburg Train

A train name would 1) make it easier to remember and 2) provide it an identity.

Saying “I am taking the 171, 145, 147, 156, or 176.” satisfies neither goal.

I have three suggestions to brand the New Lynchburg Train:

1. Blue Ridge

The name fits because the train travels in the extended shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a well known, ancient feature in Virginia and the United States.

2. Blue Ridge Link

Adding “Link” suggests this “Blue Ridge” train will “link” trains past and future to current places North, East, South, and West.

3. Blue Ridge Boston [BRB, for short]

Adding “Boston”, suggests that this “Blue Ridge” train will link to “Boston”, a place known as firmly set in Northeast US, where this service originates.
