  My personal favorite, a train I'm modeling, is Rock Island's "Choctaw Rocket" 
- daily Memphis to Amarillo - E6a, RPO and three passenger cars.  The "Nancy 
Hanks" and "Ann Rutledge" are two others that come to mind as short name 
trains.  A quick look at some actual 1940's consists yielded Pennsy's "Liberty 
Limited" - 4-6-2 and 5 cars in December 1948.  Two others that comprise a 
single locomotive and 4 or fewer cars were "The Gulf Coast Rebel" (GM&O) and 
the "Lookout" (NC&StL), again both in the 1940's.
