Western Railroad Discussion > The BN Brand.Date: 01/12/22 12:04 The BN Brand. Author: NickWolters Although relegated to fallen flag status in the 1990's, few railroads properly evoked the era in which it existed better than the Burlington Northern. The BN's "retro" logo aged so well and still survives in many instances, a favorite for many fans both old and young.

When new I understand the BN insisted that the logo never appear on its own and must be shown with the words "Burlington Northern" - Norm Date: 01/13/22 15:55 Re: The BN Brand.
