There is a longstanding railway operating under this name. It is in the Italian-speaking area of the Swiss Alps and connects Locarno with Domodossola, it's called Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali Ticinesi (Railway Local-line Region of Ticino) and the trains have the initials on sides and ends. Groups of visiting English schoolkids on cheap skiing trips to the area can be seen in laughter at the station when the train rolls in.
