3rd DAR (Evangeline) Herald ~1938 - ~1967
The third Dominion Atlantic herald observed is present in publications, stationary and timetables starting in the mid-nineteen thirties. An obvious progression of the popular tender herald, it became the imagery that defined the Evangeline line to generations of travellers.

Tender and Rolling Stock DAR (Evangeline) Herald ~1927 - 1959
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 second DAR corporate herald is obvious.
First appearing sometime around between 1924 and 1927 (No. 45 (as so far observed) the herald was used through to the end of steam in 1959 on select tenders and rolling stock. 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.
