Naming my railroad and creating a herald

Naming my railroad and creating a herald. How does one go about naming a fictitious railroad? I guess since I'm at the point of building bench work its time to start thinking about a names. This narrow gauge  railroad started at a Wharf town and ends up high in the mountains. I'm thinking West coast.

I suppose I shall upload a track plan or maybe even create a "Map" of the area at which point I can start naming towns. I wouldn't mind getting input from the MRH community.

I'm excited. Going full throttle on building the bench work. I'm lucky due to getting used wood. The L-girders were already assembled and holes drilled for wiring. This will be Multi-level with a helix part mushroom.
