There was a North American railroad called the "Grand Trunk Railway"
(not all railway companies in North America call/called themselves
"Railroads").

And they still don't. Of the largest U.S. companies, the class I's, I
believe that BNSF, Norfolk Southern, and KCS use the word Railway in their
titles. The two Canadian class I's use the word Railway. Union Pacific
Pacific is the only U.S class I company to use the word Railroad in its
title. The other U.S. class I is CSX and it uses the word Transportation
in its full title.
