The background of this question is very deep so I will just forget it and get to my question. Does anybody if the CTH&SE had a company logo? Thank you.

The only thing I have every seen was some coal hoppers with 'SOUTHEASTERN' on the sides. The road was started around 1910, and the Milwaukee Road leased/bought it in 1921 to use it to reach Southern Indiana coal fields. The Milwaukee bought a fleet of iron ore hoppers for Michigan iron ore service, and for legal/financial reasons had CTSE reporting marks applied.

Jrbernier,
I too appreciate your answer as someone who is interested in the Milwaukee Road / SOO in southern Indiana, I learned something new. Just incase any MR fan is interested, the museum in Evansville, In has an ex Milwaukee Road 0-6-0 switcher that was built in their Milwaukee shops and was used in Terre Haute at a gravel yard before being purchased by the museum. At it's last repaint it was restored to it's original CMSt.P&P paint.
There is a logo on the diesel pictured on this railroad bond, that I can't quite make out, but it looks Milwaukee Roadish. http://auction.archivesinternational.com/Chicago-Terre-Haute-and-Southeastern-Railway-Co_i12933197
And there is a different logo on the rail pass http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHICAGO-TERRE-HAUTE-SOUTHEASTERN-LINE-1921-RAILROAD-PASS-/112205537500?hash=item1a1ff8a0dc:g:OpcAAOSwLF1YApyQ

It was not uncommon 100 years ago for a railroad to have a logo (or "herald", to use the term most railroads used) and/or slogan that was used on timetables, stationary, ads, etc. but not used on any engines or rolling stock. Steam engines generally either had the railroad's initials on the cab, and a large engine number on the sides of the tender, or the engine number on the cab and the railroad name spelled out on the tender.
