Remarks & Notes

The Overland Route Named the Harriman Shield in honor of E.H. Harriman who gained control of the railroad in 1897, this particular design first hit the rails in 1904 and then made a reappearance again as the company logo in 1933. It differs from previous versions of the shield by the placing of the "Overland Route" slogan at a tilt downward from left to right. Earlier shields had that verbiage going upward. The use of the "Overland Route" saying would stop being used on the logo in 1942. Taking its place would be a streamlined style of the shield which is what we typically see today. A Western Pacific boxcar built by FMC does the honors of carrying this special shield and is part of a small group of WP boxcars to have traded in their feather logo for this historic Union Pacific shield.
