C&S Button Herald Graces a Diesel in 2020!

Many who love the C&S also love its iconic button herald logo so proudly displayed on equipment such as C&S caboose 1006 in Silver Plume.  It recently made a comeback in memory of the Colorado & Southern Railway.

In August 2020, Burlington Northern Santa Fe celebrated its 25th anniversary by revealing in Kansas City the first ten locomotives painted with its predecessors' logos.  The General Electric ES44AC engines carried logos from Frisco, Great Northern, Burlington Northern, Santa Fe, Spokane Portland & Seattle, and, most importantly in my humble opinion :), the Colorado & Southern.  

Twenty-five years ago in 1995, BNSF came into being in the fall month of September.

Could this possibly be the first revenue diesel locomotive to carry the C&S button herald logo?
