What Railroad Symbol sticks out in ur mind the best

[SALfan]

The old Seaboard Air Line emblem, with "Thru the Heart of the South". Or, the old Florida East Coast logo with the palm trees; when seen on a yellow-and-red locomotive, it just screamed Florida.

The CNW's ball and bar logo and the Chessie System kitten logo,though there are many that do run wild in my mind as well.By far though. I think the Santa Fe would be the most popular,as the "Santa" part is associated with Christmas[:D] (Santa Claus). At least I beleive so.

...This depends where one originates from....In my mind it's the B&O with the Capitol Dome and the Pennsylvania RR's Keystone containing PRR inside it....

I liked the Lehigh and New England "fried egg" logo. Also the Jersey Central Statue of Liberty logo was nice too.

Union Pacific, Pennsylvania Railroad, and Chessie System

Ok. Fallen Flags here:
Chessie, the cat sillowette creating the "C" for Chessie on teh orange and yellow paint
B&O logo. the Capitol dome, just look at the eligance of the logo on a freshly painted E or on the streamlined P7 pacifics. That was classy.

Hey, Wombats are nice things, as long as you don't get in their way!

A Wombat would be a good badge for a city underground railway!

(For those completely lost here, a Wombat is a large burrowing animal, a bit like a mole but the size of a small to medium dog)

My answer was based on the thread criteria, being a memorable symbol! I wonder who got all the "Piping Shrikes". They were all removed with the Australian National merger in about 1978. They were about 15" diameter, and cast, so they weren't light. The preserved locomotives of Steamranger and at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide still have them.

Peter, it's sure better than a Hairy Nosed Wombat...

I've always liked the South Australian Railways "Piping Shrike". This is a black and white bird, basically a Magpie, with its wings spread in a display. It fits neatly into a circular raised casting, black (and white) on a yellow background, and it sat on the nose of all their locomotives, cab or hood type! It was the State badge, but not overused like so many national flags seem to be!
