I occasionally see British Railway artifacts such as locomotive lanterns
offered for sale marked BR that are incorrectly identified as Burlington
Route. So, it helps to know what "is" BR and what "isn't."

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.

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...
