Wabash Railroad

The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

The image is used to identify the organization identifying herald of this defunct railroad company., a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

No other image is available to replace this well-known, longtime identifying mark of the railroad which was frequently used on its printed materials, advertisements, structures, locomotives, and rolling stock.

I believe this low-resolution image to be fair use, whether it is actually still under copyright or not, per WP:LOGO. Textorus (talk) 10:05, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
