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.
/n/ underground
Too bad CN is basically scrubbing all references to the IC.
Railroad logos are the best logos.
Pic related is Western Pacific's last corporate logo.
Penn Central
Rock Island's last one from about 1976-1980
Great Northern featuring Rocky.
Northern Pacific
>>934623
forgot the logo
Burlington Northern
Germany wins again
>>934626
Well that's certainly a German logo.
I wish BNSF kept pic related instead of changing to that swoosh.
>>934628
It used to look like pic related
>>934626
>>934629
In both cases it is a bit too plain imho.
>>934277
>>934674
I prefer horizontal designs
>>934628
>>934625
Both of these, right here. The new BNSF logo is so bland. Also ATSF cross was badass.
>>934624
Northern Pacific, the original weeaboos
GOAT
I like the GOT (Government of Ontario Transit) logo, which neatly incorporates all three letters.
>>935375
They also integrated the logo into a bike on top of the bike shelters at the stations.
Nz railways. This This is the logo from pre-privatisation days, when the got owned absolutely everything.
Toronto Transit Commission
'murica
>>935390
Fuck UP and Doc Durant.
>>935388
The TTC logo looks antiquated these days. The minimalistic look they went for in Montreal look much better.
>>934686
przepiękne
>no one posted comfy adorable kitten logo
for shame
>>935440
Pac Man is devouring that poor kitty
Metro Trains Melbourne.
No love for the CN "wet noodle"?
>>935457
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.
Y'all sleepin on the BEST.
>>934689 knows what's up.
>>936286
Also the 60s Glasgow Electrics logo.
>>936286
>British rail
>Non existent since 1993
>23+ years
>British Rail logo still used by all rail companies, even on newest stations
Arrow of indecision
>>934255
>>936567
Brand recognition, people see the logo and just think of trains - why change if it isn't broken. It just proves how good the logo is.
SEPTA's is the best double arrow though
>>936797
Too bad their service is fucking dogshit. 3/10, only slightly less stressful than resorting to driving in filthadelphia.
>>935457
It's a cool logo
t. former WC fan
I like CP's new design choice.
>>938657
That's not bad. I wonder who spent all the time to airbrush that onto an HO scale caboose.
>>938725
It's probably a decal
>>938725
nice catch
Erie Lackawanna
I´m a bit undecidet about the logo of Frankfurts public transit company. On one hand its fairly simple, a quality it like. But the colour is so damn hideous.
>>942648
Another frankfurter on my /n/?
neat.
>>943291
Gude.
>>943492
Ei
>>935396
Unbeatable
so how feasible is train hopping?
>>942210
Epic. Simply epic. (Only on ALCos tho)
>>943689
Very feasible if you dream is to move to Portland because your city IS SO BORING WITH NOTHING TO DO.
I hear they have a movie theater with COUCHES in it! WTF?!?

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.
>>934626
BAH, DIE
>>952351
That's kinda sick, not going to be dishonest.
>>952351
Not bad.
Old logotype.
>>958833
New logotype for the swedish state railroads.
>>935440
meme logo
This is decent, the new green washed one sucks.
>>958833
>wheel
>wings
>crown
Propably 75% of world railways have had this type of logo at one point or another.
>>934626
weak 2bh
