Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Herald

Just a comment on the "recognizability" of the herald: years ago my in-laws purchased a railroad painting for me because they knew of my interest.  It depicted a couple of steam locomotives (which I knew little about at the time), but one quick glance at the tender and I knew "That's my railroad!"  They had no idea when they bought it.  Happy coincidence!

The first appearance of the familiar square herald that I could find was in the B&MR listing in the Oct-Dec 1888 Official Guide.  Earlier Guides promote the "Burlington Route" and before that the "Great Burlington Route".

The advert with the “herald” appeared in the Railway Age in 1879 and the stylised logo in an advert in the Railway Review in 1881.

Do you know if the attached design “Herald old” was an official herald?  If so, any idea of a date?

Here's an 1885 piece that shows that "Burlington Route" was regularly being used before the advent of the herald later that same year.
