* Norfolk Southern Railway was created through the merger of two East Coast railroads, the ''Norfolk'' & Western, and the ''Southern'' Railway.

*** Before this, there was the Southern Pacific's attempt to merge with the Santa Fe. The resulting railroad would've been named the SPSF, and the paint scheme it had would've combined the yellow of the Santa Fe's "Yellowbonnet" paint scheme with the "Bloody Nose" red of Southern Pacific. This paint scheme was commonly referred to by railfans as the "Kodachrome" paint scheme because these were the colorings on packaging for Kodak film.

* UsefulNotes/LondonUnderground:
**The Bakerloo line gets its name because its route in Central London travels via ''Baker'' Street and Water''loo''.
**When the City & South London Railway was merged with the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway, the resulting tube line became known as the Morden–Edgware line, but a number of portmanteau names were considered for the route, such as "Edgmor", "Mordenware", "Medgeway" and "Edgmorden". Ultimately, none were chosen, and the route became known as the Northern line.
* Conrail was short for ''Con''solidated ''Rail'', a name befitting its role as the consolidation of several struggling freight railroads in the Northeastern United States to operate as one entity.
* The Burlington Northern Railroad took its name by borrowing words from the railroads that were merged to create it: the Chicago, ''Burlington'' & Quincy Railroad, as well as the ''Northern'' Pacific and Great ''Northern''.
* The merger of the Burlington Northern with the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe in 1995 led to the combined railroad being named the Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
* There's a variant of this where two companies merge, and one company name survives while taking on the other's logo.
**An example of this happened in 1988 when the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad bought the Southern Pacific Railroad. The combined railroad took on the Southern Pacific name, since Southern Pacific had more track mileage. The one noticeable change was to Southern Pacific's "Bloody Nose" paint scheme, as the serif font used for the railroad name on the sides of new locomotives was replaced by the Rio Grande's "speed lettering", which was utilized on all SP locomotives built until the railroad was folded into Union Pacific.
**In the airline mergers of the 2010s, United and Continental Airlines merged. The combined airline used the United Airlines name, but the Continental globe logo in lieu of United's old Tulip logo.
