Or they could call it the Norfolk Pacific. I think that BN still owns that reporting mark (NP) too. I'd love to see NP's old symbol come back.

How about Burlington Norfolk as BN, they would already own that reporting mark.

oooo i have an idea how that would look nice. take BN's logo and expand the left side of the B into that white "swoosh" with the horse that NS had. it'd look so great. but then the ATSF heritage would be lost. oh well. i guess they'll just have to bring back elements of the H2 or H1 paint schemes!
