I'm having second thoughts about my railroad's name. PHI, Parks Harbor Industrial. Technially speaking this doesn't meet the definition of and "Industrial" railroad, which usually is owned by and serves a single customer. The Nerdy aspects of calling my RR PHI are way strong and I really want to keep the name (not only for nerd value but 'cuse I think it really rolls off the tongue, "Parks Harbor Industrial".
Yes it's my railroad, and I can call it whatever I want, but... this is the kinda thing that would nag me. I can make up unrealistc stories about freght loads and such all day long to justify rolling stock and customers on the railroad, but the name thing... I'm not so sure I can let that one go.
ETA: Found the site for the Turtle Creek Industrial Railroad. It meets the definition of an Industrial railroad but it serves other customers as well. That gives me some hope of mentally salvaging this name.
ETA: Found another shortline using the term "Industrial" in their name while not really meeting the definition. I think I'm back to liking my name again.
