>> Why do they call these LNG Why do they call these LNG liquification plants "trains"? <<

A trip to the dictionary would have provided some clues

3. a group of persons, animals, vehicles, etc. that follow one another in a line;

6. any connected order or arrangement; series; sequence; [ a train of thought ]


An LNG train consists of a string of equipment subjecting the gas to a series of processes with raw gas coming in one end and liquified gas going out the other. The liquefaction trains can usually be operated independently of each other allowing one train to be taken down for maintenance while the others continue to run.

Nothing to do with railroads. <g>
