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.
