What does your Forum User Name mean?

[the_traveler]

I'm blue whenever I'm not aboard Amtrak!

Or whenever I arrive "home" from my trip!

 

[AmtrakBlue]

I'm blue whenever I'm not aboard Amtrak!

Or whenever I arrive "home" from my trip!

I thought about AmtrakBlues ... but I didn't want it to sound like I was "suffering" the blues, so I left the s off.

 

[bobnabq]

Mine should be easy to you folks who are probably familiar with city abbreviations.

 

bobnabq = Bob in Albuquerque

 

 

 

[hhswami]

hhswami... A Hilton Head, SC resident for over 24 years is the reason for the "hh" and have had the nickname "Swami" since 1993 when I was the only one in a large NCAA Mens Basketball Championship office pool to pick the #15 seed Santa Clara upset of #2 seeded Arizona. Could have ended up with a lot worse nickname, so I didn't mind it sticking!

[Loco-Man-ia]

My name just sort of seemed to fit... I worked as a locomotive manufacturing field rep and field engineer (among various positions) for about thirty 30 years and retired. I often thought I was crazy to work for one company for this long, therefore the "loco" part of locomotive -- a crazy (loco) reason (motive) to remain employed. It also stemmed from a joke I love which is now my byline; "What is the definition of locomotive? An insane reason to commit a crime!". Telling this joke earned me the label among friends as the "Loco-Man from 'xyz' " (former company name) which evolved into being the locomotive maniac man, and combined down to Loco-Man-iac! My tail had been sufficiently pinned onto my donkey with a rusty needle!! BTW -- like many others out there I now work for Amtrak.

[the_traveler]

Hmm...I wonder what my user name means?

You're from DEN?

After all, a member chose as a screen name "30th Street Station" - and they lived in Phoenix!

 

[the_traveler]

Welcome Loco-Man-la, Michael061282 and NY Penn!

[the_traveler]

I'm not really a new member anymore.

You're a crazy member then?

 

[Michael Napolitano]

No secret as to what my name means. We lost our last "steel wheels" train down here back in 2004. I probably should be Deland Mike or Palatka Mike; those are my "home" stations for S/B or N/B trips, as I refuse to ride an Ambus.

Not sure why I came in as a guest. Maybe I forgot to sign in. Anyway, the above post might be a little clearer if my User Name showed up.

Ocala Mike

 

[pennyk]

Welcome Mike. When I was in college in Gainesville in the 1970's, the train stopped in Waldo. Right now, I live 3 miles from the Orlando station and it s very convenient.

 

[jmbgeg]

I mentioned in another thread we should have a thread with this title. I have already been PM'd asking me to start it. So, I'll go first.

MrFSS is short for Mr Financial Settlement Services. That is a subsidiary company of the big company I retired from a few years ago. We only had a few employees in our little group, and to many of my customers I was know as = MrFSS. It stuck and I keep using it today. Haven't worked there in a few years, but I still hear from folks now and then.

So, if you have a story as to why you have the user name you use and want to share it, this is the place!

[EMDF9A]

EMDF9A. What can say, its my favorite locomotive. An F9 pulled the first train I rode. My grandfathers & several other family members worked on them. The first locomotive I was ever in the cab of was an NP F9 at the Auburn diesel house. I have a model that I detailed and painted in NP freight colors on my desk. In other forums I also use TrainguyNCL... North Coast Limited. You can see where my loyalties lie. (That reminds me.. it time to bake NP fruitcake for the holiday season!)
