On September 18, 1889, the name of the Minneapolis and St. Cloud Railway (a railroad which existed primarily on paper, but which held very extensive land grants throughout the Midwest and Pacific Northwest) changed to the Great Northern Railway. On March 2, 1970, the Great Northern, together with the Northern Pacific Railway, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway, merged to form the Burlington Northern Railroad. The BN operated until 1996 when it merged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to form the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway.
This is an illuminated Drum head-like light box of the Great Northern Railroad logo. This is a PLA (Polylactic Acid) printed representation of the logo in 3 colors (Red, White and Black) with a drum-like back containing a wall mounting hole. The lightbox includes an IR remote to turn the light box on/off and to change the color intensity from a warm 2700K to a daylight bright 6500K.
The logo is back lit with 110V LED Strip lights to illuminate the entire logo. The unit measures 9.278" diameter by 1.575" height.
