White River Division

Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 17th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.

CN Noodle

My local CN pensioners newsletter had an interesting article about the CN logo...here is a portion of it...George Dutka

"CN announced on June 28, 2017 that they are recognized as an iconic Canadian brand by Interbrand Canada for Canada 150. When Allan Fleming designed CN's logo, he said a logo should last at least 50 years. Fleming's logo was unveiled in 1960. As the logo nears its 57th birthday, it's evident it has withstood the test of time. Fleming's CN is one of Canada's best-known design icons. In addition he also designed the Ontario Hydro logo and was the art director for Maclean's magazine. Fleming died in 1977 at the age of 48."

Good reference, George. I did a bit of logo-finding for the 50th anniversary of the CN logo back in 2011 on Trackside Treasure: http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.ca/2011/01/cn-logo-turns-50.html
