That's the name of one of the songs from Transport Tycoon. Open the jukebox and in the playlist is 'Aliens Ate My Railway', which is in turn a joke of the Commander Keen game, 'Aliens Ate My Babysitter'.
I remember seeing that for sale in shops. God, I'm getting old.

Good old Amcrash.
"What are the odds that a train will be coming along here any time?"
"15 to 1"
"Odd, my watch must be slow."
"No, 15 to 1 any train will make it this far. This track is owned by Amtrak."
Illegal Alien, just to have some information about the Voyager for you:
The Voyager (runs to Reading only on XC services, terminates there) runs normally in 8 car sets formed of 4 cars.
The Super-Voyager (runs to Bournemouth (Weymouth sometimes on Saturday specials)) runs normally in 5 car sets with no other set coupled. Begins tilting on the verge between Basingstoke and Reading.

well, instead of making the train and carrages one big train. what about you, I.A, make the engine and carrages seperate?
Tilting trains also operate between oxford/banbury and leamington, and on the west coast main line.

Yeah I take those when I go up to Liverpool to visit my grandparents.
They ARE fast, the journey was about 15/20 mins shorter than normal.
To be honest, I think the interior design of the trains is rubbish. The windows are really narrow and not aligned with the seats, there is hardly any luggage space (what were they thinking, this is a long distance train?!!??) and the toilets kept malfunctioning.
Still, it looks cool from the outside, so no problems with using it in Loco.
