With creation of the nation's longest railroad on March 2, 1970, a new name, a new emblem and a vibrant new color came to the American railroad scene.
In searching for a name for the company, management felt that, rather than selecting a totally new name, foreign to both the railroad industry and to the road's customers, the company's interests would be better served by use of a name that retained the image of the merging lines. With this in mind, Lippincott & Margulies, the noted New York industrial design firm, was engaged to devise a short, usable name that would retain the good will of the component railroads. L&M was also assigned the task of designing an appropriate emblem to go with the name. Prior to selection of the new name, the cumbersome title "Great Northern Pacific & Burlington Lines" was used in all merger proceedings; while certainly all-inclusive, this was obviously not a usable name. (lt wouldn't even fit on the side of a locomotive or car!)
