Logos

The first Dominion Atlantic herald observed is present in publications, stationary and timetables starting just after the turn of the 20th century. It was obviously well recieved as it started to proliferate into every aspect of the railway's operation and became the imagery that defined the Evangeline line to more than one generation of travellers.

1st Evangeline Herald ~1900 - ~1946

This original helrald first appeared after 1900 sometime and was used extensively as corporate indentification trancending other logos that were developed and used for advertising purposes only.

Tender and Rolling Stock Herald

Interestingly enough, tender and rolling stock heralds were unique to themselves. The heralds were not apparently used on anything else yet their lineage from the very first corporate herald is obvious.

They first appeared soemtime in the 1920s we observe and were in use on select tenders and rolling stock right through to the end of steam in 1959. Some minor variations have been observed throughout the years and as our herald photo collection grows we may be able to better identify what those differences were and what years they spanned.

It is also known that for some period of time, Evangeline always faced forward. This would mean of course that the outer circle and lettering reamined the same but the centre Evangeline would be mirror images of each other from side to side.
