The original name proposed was Great Northern Pacific & Burlington. I'm sure all the sign painters would have loved that one. It's kinda funny how "Burlington" got top billing over Chicago and Quincy in CB&Q. Sort of like "Santa Fe", I suppose. Chicago is still THE RR city (at least for frt) - and nobody has it in their name, tho' we do have Burlington, Norfolk and Santa Fe represented....
