I found the Northern Illinois University digital library ( https://digital.lib.niu.edu/ ) and was looking at a collection of railroad related images. There were many images of various roads, mainly around the Northern Illinois area, I found a picture of a bus in Downtown DeKalb, IL that was from the Burlington Transportation Company. I noticed it had a sign on the front for Los Angeles. I had no idea Burlington operated this line, but the logo is unmistakable. I couldn't download the full image, but took a capture file and converted it to jpeg. You can view the image in the library here:
