Gil, this is the other B&M logo I was talking about. I believe it was applied to a few F units.

I think the first was a B+M or something along that line. The one you show did not last very long either and was on the 4200s. Mrs. McGinnis was hired as a color consultant and chose the blue for the cars and locos. I believe she had a part in the logos also. The logo I use was the final version and lasted until Guilford.

Well, nothing like "keeping it in the family" !!!
Wsn't she also involved with the NH McGinnis era logo, via a designer?

I believe she was involved with the logo and colors on the NH. McGinnis started his railroad career on the original Norfolk Southern, then the NH and finally the B&M. When he was released from prison he was involved with the trucking industry. I don't remember the company but I believe they made semi-trailers.
