Western Pacific Railroad logo promoting the Feather River Route. From the internet.

One railroad logo that I have always found attractive and very artistic, is the old pre 1982 fallen flag Western Pacific Railroad logo.

The Western Pacific existed from 1910 until being bought out and acquired through merger by the Union Pacific Railroad in the year of 1982.

The Western Pacific was a west coast regional railroad that operated from northern california, to the desert States of Nevada and Utah. The railroad passed through the very scenic Feather River Canyon in northern California, hence the slogan "The Feather River Route" wich they used for many years.
