If the American president travelled by train, internationally, instead of Air Force One, what might it be called?
Rail Road One? Any thing more plausible?

It was named Ferdinand Magellan.

It was also known as United States Railcar No. 1 after it was rebuilt.
Thanks. I already saw that.
My story is present day and for reasons of plot, rail is preferred over air for some international presidential journeys. Suppose it's a question of protocol/nomenclature. Does Rail Road One sound too cheesy?

This thread brings up a complete digression and curiosity question: Who was the first sitting U.S President to visit a foreign nation? And, secondarily, how did he travel there?
It's not a quiz. I simply don't know.

First President to visit outside the United States? George Washington. He wasn't even born in the US.

I have no input regarding a train name, maybe other than Valentine One. But traveling internationally with self-provided train engines and cars may be a little troublesome in certain parts of the world due to varying track widths. So either the president has to have several sets of trains or he may have to ride on trains loaned to him by untrustworthy governments serviced by T-type Nemesis.
Track width is not a problem, because they just change the wheel assemblies.

That's pretty cool, but why bother stopping the train?

I think you meant Peyton Randolph.
