Revengine
Revenge + Engine
Pronounced: re-VEN-jin
The train has steam coming out of its nose and an angry vibe. "Engine" references the steam engine that trains like this would run on. “Rev engine” is in there too and could refer to the sounds it makes when using clangorous soul.

Chokestack
Choke (To have difficulty breathing from a constricted throat) + Smokestack (Locomotive funnel)
Pronounced: CHOKE-stack
Not much in the way of dragon puns. If someone else claimed this without me knowing let me know. I like how "choke" from a blocked throat is why the train needs it sprayed!

Leviatram
From Leviathan and Tram.
Pronounced: luh-vy-uh-tram
IPA: ɫəˈvaɪəˈtɹæm
Leviathan is because it's a large serpent just like the serpent that the word comes from but also because of its meaning of "big strong monstrous" thing, then Tram because train. Additionally for a bit of train history there was a Steam Locomotive named Leviathan which was used in the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.

Ridealong
Pronounced: "ry-duh-long"
"Ride"+ "Along" + "Long" (Chinese word for Dragon) + "ride-along"
I love names like Gloom, Golem and Electrode that aren't just portmanteaus but actual proper nouns repurposed in a wacky way.

Chuggaryuryu
A combination of "Ryu" + train onomatopoeia "Chugga-Chugga-Choo-Choo".
Pronounced: "Chugga-ROO-ROO"
I am late to the chugga-adjacent name party, but I wanted to toss in one that lets you do the whole phrase. Is pronouncing ryu as roo a little cheating? Sure, but it’s too fun to pass. Rock the whole double emphasis! Chugga-chugga-RYU-RYU!

Steamalong
Pronounced : "STEEM-UH-LONG."
It is a combination of steam a Long (the word used to refer to eastern dragons in China).
It also sounds like "steam along" in allusion to it being a train. The prefix "along" also sounds like "all" as in all board and "steam-a" sounds full steam ahead.
Basically for a simple combination it feels like a large combination of various terms used to allude to steam engines as well as the eastern dragon.

Smoglev
Smog + Maglev
Pretty straightforward, smog for the smoke, Maglev as in the train. Will add pronunciation if I decide to submit this, but it's pronounced the way it looks.
(2/3)
Engite
Engine + Ignite/Excite
No draconic references here, but it could work from the train angle. Again, pronunciation if I submit.

Konvoyage
"Drakon" + "Convoy" + "Voyage" + "bon voyage".
Pronounced: "KAHN-voy-ahj"
Drakons are a form of eastern dragon that are more serpentine and associated with acid/poison. Convoys are groups of ships/cars (to bring reference to the long segmented nature of CAP 34) that travel against one another, and is often in reference to trains. Voyages are long treks which this fella takes, plus it plays into convoy to sound like "bon voyage", a common saying even beyond its origin country.

Diaphreight
Diaphragm, the organ in the human body responsible for pushing air through the throat, especially important when it comes to singing (or clanging?) and freight, considering the train design inspiration.
Pronounced "DYE-a-frayt"
