'CN'.....that iconic logo.....the Noodle is 60 years old and IMHO just as fresh and modern today as it was when introduced in January 1961. And with it was a total revamp of CN's image.
Until the Spring/Summer 1960 Timetable......the old green Maple Leaf image was prevalent. Then the Fall/Winter issue in October 1960 you could see something was happening but CN just wasn't quite ready to reveal it yet.
The Spring Summer issue of April 1961 reveals the new image and going forwards and almost right up until VIA......just about every timetable followed this format with a blue background for Spring/Summer issues and red for the Fall/Winter issues.
On a trip west on the Canadian a couple of years ago and up in the Dome as we met a freight someone remarked "look, a CNN train!"
I don't think so! The logos might be similar but CN has CNN beat by 20 years!

"The (CNN) logo was not without its critics. Canadian National Railways believed it closely resembled its logo and raised some concern about the matter. “I didn’t know anything about railroads or the Canadian National Railroad,” Dwyer said. “When I looked at the logos, it wasn’t even close.”
