ITT: Best Railroad Logos

Anonymous Thu 17 Mar 2016 06:16:51 No.934255 View View Reply Original Report

The IC Death Star is objectively the GOAT railroad logo.

>Rail cross section serves and a fucking awesome symbol for the railroad
>Did I mention that the cross section also looks like the letter 'I', as it appears in 'Illinois'?
>That fucking circle made out of lines pleases my autism on so many levels

Anyway, post objectively inferior runner-ups ITT.

That one is cool but I prefer their split rail logo 2bh. The way it spells out IC is pretty clever.

Fuck that. It's okay in itself but they've repainted IC, WC, GTW, and EJ&E motors into the scheme. I like the different liveries and colors. It reminds you that it's an amalgamation of railroads.

The Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft, Alb Valley Transit Company, operates the tram-train network around Karlsruhe.
Their original logo from 1957 shows their first connection between various small villages in the Black Forest and Karlsruhe, where the line terminated on the market next to the pyramid that holds the grave of the city founder.
