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.

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.
