Josh, I suggest checking out the narrow gauge & short line gazette. They carry it at Johnny's. I have most issues from the 1980s. You are welcome to stop by sometime if you'd like to study them (I live near UC). Many real logging railroads had fine names. Perhaps you could also consider some historic local road names for inspiration...
a few ideas from me: The College Hill Logging Co, the Little Miami Lumber Line, the Mt. Healthy Lumber Co, etc. I would generally recommend looking for info on short lines of the 1940s to get an idea as to how to detail here. An HO catalog from Precision Scale is probably in order (I only have the O scale version), as well as Cal-scale and the Backshop. Keystone, Grandt Line, Rio Grande Models, and Wiseman Model Services probably have plenty of goodies as well.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
