My own favorite is (or more accurately, was) the Waco, Beaumont, Trinity & Sabine =>
'Wobblety, Bobblety, Turnover & Stop'.
If the Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern had a nickname I'm not aware of it, but IMHO they had the all-time best advertising slogan
: "Save Time and Money by avoiding Bedlam and Confusion!". I'm not sure about saving time or money, but running from nowhere to lesswhere on a single track line they certainly accomplished the avoidance of bedlam and confusion.
