5658 Good morning America how are you? [I guess I wasn’t clear. It’s the passenger train _routes_ in North America that have names: the _City of New Orleans_ runs between Chicago and New Orleans, the _Twentieth Century Limited_ runs between New York and Chicago, the _Canadian_ runs between Toronto and Vancouver, and so on. The locomotives have no names, only numbers, but if they’re hauling a passenger train between Toronto and Vancouver, then they are part of the _Canadian_. We don’t tend to give individual airliners in North America names, though there could be exceptions. At any rate, air routes don’t have names here, in the way that passenger train routes do.] ---
