Gene:

I've long thought of doing a brief piece on the herald for the Zephyr or Bulletin.  The closest I can come is that the rectangular Burlington Route herald was fist used in 1885, and it had the red border right away, though it was often used in black and white without the border.  Until the turn of the century it was used with the initials of owned lines beneath Burlington Route --but the Q itself did not use those initials.  And on timetables until well into the 1900s it was used vertically, i.e., the height was greater than the width.  A few examples are attached.

Does anyone know the history of the Burlington Herald. There are a few notes on the list about the background color and some other items but when was it created? I was asked this by one of our members who isn’t on this list.
