Even if the train story was true it's still assuming that the students got it from that. It's all the university could dig up trying to change where it came from. We know where it really came from. Not flaming, just being honest.

True. It is an unsupported assumption that a train of the same name was the origin.

Ridiculous unsupported assumption of your own to the university's intentions

Yet another unsupported assumption followed by an argument ad populum, an appeal to popularity.

Yeah, these students derived this name from an institution that was long dead even before their parents were born. Sounds legit.
