The markings changed from "CB&Q" to "BR", I believe, sometime in the 30's or 40's. So it is possible to find tools, etc. marked either way. By the time I got around (mid 50's), all the tools and switch locks, in active use, were marked "BR".

All of the dining car silverware and the silver service such as coffee pots, creamers, sugar container, etc. had BR engraved on them as part of the decorative design. On the other hand, the coal scoop and locomotive oil can that I have, have CB&Q stamped on them. So, both identification methods were common. As Mr. Zadnichek indicates, for public passenger identification, Burlington Route and BR were commonly used.

Lots o' goodies if you've got the scratch.    One of the Burlington items is marked "BR" , wouldn't it be marked "CB& Q"?  Time for the experts to chime in...
