At one point they were thinking of renaming the big station in Philadelphia, 30th Street Station, after Ben Franklin, but they didn't do it. One reason I heard because they were afraid people would call it "Ben Station" and get it confused with the New York and Newark stations.
(Also, Newark, Delaware is on the same line! But not many trains stop there.)
